When William said that he could make 99% of the people in an industry lose their jobs, D 'Dario's eyes widened in shock. She covered her mouth in disbelief and shouted, "Oh, my God!".
However, when she thought about the technology-related things that William came up with, and what her parents said about William's position in the gold market, she felt that it was only natural.
She stuttered, "You … You've already gotten the title of a tyrant in the gold market, and now you want to be the emperor of the special effects industry?
Aren't you afraid that the thousands of people who lost their jobs because of you will hate you and destroy their families? "
William shrugged. It was none of his business whether the Americans lost their jobs or not.
Moreover, he was no longer a newbie. If he wanted to subvert or rule an industry, he would not pick an industry with tens or millions of people working in it.
Speaking of the number of people working in the special effects industry, not to mention other industries, there were not many of them in the programmer industry.
Moreover, the Americans had already put 50% to 60% of their special effects business in countries with low taxes and subsidies. Even if Lin Huang wanted to do something, he would not be able to make much of a difference.
Moreover, as long as the company was in England, even if the Americans had any objections, Richard, the head of the industry in England, would resist the pressure even if William did not say anything when he saw the taxes.
After thinking about this, William squinted his eyes and said, "Don't worry, it's not as troublesome as you think. Not to mention that I've reduced the cost of the film company while attacking the special effects industry.
As long as I have one party to fight the other, it won't be easy for people to find trouble with me.
As for people who want to play dirty, hehe, it's not that I look down on these ordinary companies, but I don't care even if they're the American government. "
D 'Dario's eyes glazed over when she saw William's confident expression. Then, William glared at her as if he was going to swallow her whole. She was so scared that she leaned on his shoulder in a panic.
"But what if the whole industry works together to fight against you?"
"No one can compete with me in terms of servers," William took a few deep breaths. He was worried that he would embarrass himself so he patted D 'Dario's back and held her hand as he walked.
"The computing power of all the servers in the United States combined probably can't compare to the server in my base.
So, as long as I wanted to, I could raise the price of the special effects to seven times, or even five times, or even three times. At the same time, I could make it so that these people couldn't use it and sue me for unfair price competition.
If I can save huge costs, do you think those Hollywood companies will kneel down in front of me and call me God for the sake of benefits? "
Dadario, who had been in Hollywood for several years, nodded vigorously. Of course, she knew that for higher profits, the film company would even kiss William's shoes, not to mention kneeling in front of him.
For a moment, D 'Dario looked at William with eyes full of tenderness and sweetness. He had thought that he had latched onto a diamond leg, but now, it seemed that he was a diamond leg. He was a tyrant who could destroy an industry with a single word.
Seeing the smile on Dadario's face, William did as he was told. He covered his ears and said, "On Sunday, help me build a hundred 3D virtual imaging drones.
I want the drones to be able to display images that are more realistic than those special effects scenes in the movies. "
Sunday paused for a few seconds before saying, "Sir, in order to achieve the most realistic effect in reality, this drone will involve installing various attack methods. Are you sure?"
"Yes." William thought for a moment and continued, "After you build it, send me the video of the experiment. Use the story in mythology as a blueprint and create some big scenes."
"Understood, sir. The first video will appear in front of you in three hours."
William smiled and nodded. He pulled D 'Dario and quickened his pace towards Stark and the others who were dozens of meters away.
Without waiting for the impatient Stark to nag, Obadiah smiled and said, "William, what are you guys talking about for so long?"
D 'Dario immediately looked at William. William thought for a while before looking at Richard and said, "Just now, inspired by D' Dario, I thought of something that could change the special effects industry."
At this point, William deliberately stopped and pretended to be deep in thought.
When everyone heard that William had a new idea, they all looked at Stark, forcing him to frown. Only then did everyone look at William who was deep in thought.
D 'Dario looked at William in surprise. She knew that William was lying, but looking at William's expression, she couldn't help but wonder if most successful people were good actors.
Then, she also began to pretend to be shy and waited quietly for William to speak.
"No, if I can come up with more advanced technology, I can reduce the cost of special effects by two or three times.
Judging from the current profitability of the special effects industry, most of the special effects companies will not be able to make ends meet. Then, it won't change the industry, it will subvert it. "
When they heard that it was only the special effects industry, except for Richard whose family owned shares in Disney, everyone else was disappointed and relieved.
Since it was related to his family's business, Richard hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked anxiously, "William, what technology did you come up with?"
William thought about how much technology was needed to create a realistic battle scene like the one in the Spider movie.
Then, he thought about how eight or nine years later in the movie, Stark himself had bought a realistic virtual version of the technology from the villains in the Spider movie.
After confirming that no one would be able to copy it in the short term, he smiled and said to Richard, "Using drones to project virtual images in the real world.
Not only can it save a lot of manpower and money, but it can also save months or even a year of special effects production time. Isn't this technology considered subverting the industry? "
Richard quickly recalled how William had pretended to scan the surrounding mountains with his phone for safety's sake and projected a virtual image of the mountains. He immediately understood what special effects he was talking about.
When he thought about how the cost could be reduced by two or three times and how he could save a lot of time on special effects production, Richard nodded helplessly and excitedly.
"If it's really as good as you said, then as long as I call Disney, not only will the management come to look for you, the shareholder, the other major shareholders will also come to see you immediately."
William immediately understood what Richard meant. He curled his lips and said, "You want to discuss how to buy the technology in my hands?"
Hearing William's tone, Richard knew that he would not sell it. Richard shrugged, "It's fine if you don't sell it. Otherwise, you might become the controlling shareholder of Disney because of this technology."
"However, I think that if you are willing to license the technology to Disney exclusively, we shareholders will definitely be willing to repay you with 10% of our shares."
"Come on, 10%? Do you think I've never seen money before, or do you think I don't understand the market?"
William narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If we keep it in our hands, this special effects company will be more valuable than Disney in a few years."
"Also, if the major companies in Hollywood join forces and don't use my technology, then I will immediately get England's Independent Television to start producing special effects short films and show them to the European film companies.
I will let the whole world know that Hollywood's film technology is no longer the most advanced.
When the time comes, the Gaul Rooster and the Germans will definitely be willing to challenge Hollywood's position in the world. "
William chuckled. "After all, you guys have cheated a lot of money from their investors over the years."
"This, this …"
When he thought about how the film industry was no longer centered around Hollywood, Richard felt that the value of Disney's shares might be cut in half in a few years.
After thinking for a moment, he apologized to the people around him, "Sorry, I have to make a call."
Obadiah and the others immediately nodded. Compared to the family business, the matter of playing basketball was not worth mentioning.
When Richard hurried ten meters away with his phone, Obadiah and the others immediately surrounded him.
"William, how long will it take to produce this technology?"
William smiled and said, "In three hours, we should be able to build the test drone. When the time comes, I'll invite you to watch the special effects film in the open space."
At the mention of the open space, William was immediately stunned.
F * ck, if it was played in the open space or in a huge indoor space, then the 3D screen would be trash in front of the virtual imaging.
If the cost was not more expensive than the movie ticket, or even twice as expensive, then the cinema would still be defeated by him.
Perhaps he could create a grand occasion of sixty thousand people watching a movie at the same time at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge.
If the response was good, then he could use the stadium to play movies when there was no game in the future?
Thinking about it this way, how many stadiums in Europe could accommodate tens of thousands of people?
Even if a stadium only played one movie a day, it would be able to capture the nearby audience in one fell swoop.
Moreover, the main group of people watching the game were young people. They would definitely be willing to experience a movie journey that was more immersive than 3D.
If there really were people watching, these stadiums would definitely be willing to earn a share of the movie ticket when there was no game.
When everyone saw that William was in a daze, someone immediately thought of the problem of broadcasting.
"God, I originally thought the prospects weren't too great, but if you can even solve the problem of broadcasting, won't all the film companies in the world have to act according to your wishes in the future?
Even if you have a way to get rid of the monopoly problem, then even the film companies will,,,, and. "
"Impossible, not to mention the monopoly problem," Obadiah immediately shook his head and said, "Do you know how many movies are made in the world in a year?
Moreover, to set up a film company and make movies, you have to deal with actors, directors, screenwriters, behind-the-scenes, and various guilds.
You also have to deal with the distribution in various countries, and even have to keep up with the market to know what the audience wants to see. If you don't pay attention, you will lose money.
There are too many troubles in this. It's not as fast as exploiting the film companies all over the world to make money, make more money, and make money steadily. "
"William, are you interested in letting us participate?" Obadiah touched his bald head and said submissively, "Although we're not in the film industry, we've sponsored a lot of serious clients.
Even if you want to temporarily attack the film companies so that you can gain the initiative, don't forget that the United States is the biggest market. You still have to enter this country in the end. "
The Celestial Empire is, William thought silently, but he didn't want to go to the Celestial Empire. In the end, after he gained a foothold in a country other than the United States, just like what Obadiah said, he still had to enter this market.
But then he thought that since he didn't set up a film company, he didn't have any movies to sell into the United States, so he didn't need to beg the Americans.
Besides, was he short of money?
In the worst case scenario, it was nothing more than the European film companies looking for him to do special effects, and there were no famous special effects companies in Europe. They would definitely be ecstatic to welcome him so that they could challenge Hollywood's position.
Therefore, after William said this with a smile, Obadiah and the others' faces immediately darkened.
"Sigh, if only you were born in the United States," Obadiah looked at William with emotion, and then said to the shareholders around him, "Then we can probably follow behind him and occupy all the markets related to William's research."
Stoker saw that all the people present nodded and his mouth moved, but he didn't know how to refute.
Although he also made virtual imaging, the difference between the outdoor image and the indoor image is still very big.
At least you have to consider light, dust, weather and other factors, and drones are not his main field of research.
Even if he was confident in making a product of William's level, he felt that it was impossible to make it in a short time.
What's more, when he heard William say that the finished product could be made in three hours, he thought that William had already studied these things, and they were the collateral results of other research projects.
Even if he won against William in this field, maybe he would have already come up with more profitable projects by then.
With this in mind, Stoker felt that he had better focus on the weapons, machinery manufacturing and energy that he was best at, lest he didn't surpass William in other fields and he was distracted and neglected his main business.
In this way, Stoker himself didn't realize that he had actually put William above him in his heart.
However, he, who had taken a step back in his heart, wanted to beat William in the golf game.
He waved to his caddie more than ten meters away and said to William, "Okay, don't worry about Richard, he can't keep up with us anyway."
After saying that, he led the caddie, Little Pepper, Happy and the others to the bunker that was only 30 yards away from the green.
30 yards was less than 28 meters, and Stoker still had a lot of confidence in saving this kind of ball.
Sure enough, after he combined the caddie's explanation with Jarvis's hint, after he swung, the golf ball jumped high and landed on the edge of the green, bouncing and rolling in the direction of the hole.
Under the regretful gazes of Little Pepper and the others, it stopped half a meter away from the green.
William shrugged and kissed D 'Dario's face. He took the club from the caddie and walked to his golf ball.
He looked at the flagpole on the green and gently hit the ball. It accurately landed on the edge of the green and slowly rolled to the flagpole.
"Nice shot."
To be honest, saving the ball on the green at 120 yards was much easier than saving the ball in the bunker at 30 yards. However, William was the focus of everyone's attention, so of course there was more applause and praise than Stoker.
William pinched the brim of his ball cap and slightly lowered his head to salute the people around him who were applauding for him. Then, he led the smiling D 'Dario to the green.
