Hollywood Secret Garden

The huge conference room was full of chaos. The heads of marketing department, planning department, and marketing department were each arguing and arguing, and they couldn't convince each other.

As the music director, John Burns sat on the sidelines without saying a word. Anyway, he said what he should say. As for how the company does it, it is the general manager's business. The manager, Richard Bruce, was always decisive, but now he frowned and leaned back on the chair, as if ignoring the quarrel in the conference room, unable to make a decision.

It is indeed a difficult problem, John said in his heart, there is no doubt that the child has great potential, but the conditions this time are a bit harsh, but having said that, as long as the benefits can be achieved, it is up to Richard to decide, From his own point of view, he really hoped that the company would agree.

At this time, the door of the meeting room was pushed open, and the secretary appeared at the door, and said nervously to Richard who was looking at him, "Mr. General Manager, Mr. Eisner is here."

The noisy conference room immediately fell silent. About two seconds later, Richard jumped up: "Clean up the conference room! Keep quiet, I'll go pick up Mr. Eisner."

As he said that, he ran out in a hurry, and the heads of various departments also hurriedly moved, collecting the scattered materials, pouring out the cigarette ash, fanning them with paper and spraying some air freshener.

Richard came back soon. Behind him was the CEO of the head office, Michael Eisner. The table said: "Gentlemen and ladies, I am very disappointed. The request for Miss Mason's next EP has been sent to everyone in a few days, but you are still discussing it, or do you plan to continue the discussion?"

The heads of the departments looked at each other and didn't speak. After a few seconds, Richard, who was sitting next to Eisner, said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman, we are deadlocked on one issue, Miss Mason. This EP is required to be pure music. After the release, if the number of sales of the previous EP can be reached, we will sign an album contract with us. As you know, pure music records have never been as popular as pop music. 1 There are very few platinum pure music records, not to mention the 5 platinum sales of the last EP, and Miss Mason can only sign one record after another because of her age, which is very detrimental to the company.”

Eisner put his hands together and nodded, thought for a while, then pointed to Sam Rich from the marketing department on the left and said: "Mr. Don't miss a word."

Rich nodded, opened the information in his hand and said: "Mr. Chairman, the record for the highest sales of pure music albums is 3 platinum. Although we used various methods to make Miss Mason's popularity reach a considerable height when we released the EP last time, but Relying on this point, it is still impossible to reach 5 gold, and an EP can contain up to 5 songs, and the pure music may be less, so I am afraid that it will not even reach 1 platinum."

Next is Ms. Juliet Richter from the marketing department: "I agree with Rich, the pure music audience is too small, Miss Mason has accumulated a lot of popularity in her last EP, and I am afraid that at least half of the pure music EP will be lost. , so the gain outweighs the loss."

However, Elvin Wood from the planning department expressed his objection: "Miss Mason's image has always been full of mystery. As long as all parties cooperate to do a good job in publicity, it is absolutely possible to achieve 1 platinum sales. We can discuss this issue with her. Miss Mason to communicate."

The people in charge of the next few departments said the same thing. The problem is that pure music records have a small audience and narrow range. If the distribution work is not done well, a lot of popularity will be lost, and Miss Mason cannot sign a long-term contract. The condition is lowered to 1 Platinum sales, but it has lost popularity, and it is unknown how much the album can sell.

Eisner pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at the music director beside him: "John, what do you think?"

"Mine?" John shrugged. "From my point of view, I would do anything to keep her! Her musical potential is unprecedented, and I can tell you that for sure, Eisner, you Have you ever seen a kid who can write their own songs and lyrics at the age of 11? And I can tell you, Eisner, Miss Mason's piano certificate is an amateur 8, but in fact she should have a professional 8, she really He's a genius."

Eisner remained silent, recalling the results of the secret investigation on Angela and George's report on the surprise idea of ​​the little girl at the birthday party in his head, and finally tapped on the table lightly again: "Then promise For her, of course the condition must be reduced to 1 Platinum, or the less the better."

Then he looked at Richard again: "Richard, I hope that the next time there is a similar situation and I can't make a decision, I will report it to the head office immediately, instead of asking me to rush over from Burbank again!"

"The airship to Northrend is about to set sail, and I'm cleaning my weapon in a state of anxiety—not for my own fate, but for this damn airship, God knows when the goblin-made thing will explode —I hope it's not in the middle of the endless sea.

Most of the companions were making noise in the bar of the airship, venting their emotions. The two guys, Ander Clefthoof and Germon Spirits, were fighting for drinks as usual, and their pets, Kemi the white bear and Ah the lion Bang, like their masters, twisted together and greeted each other. As expected, if there is a master, there must be a favor.

But in any case, it's better than Ream Steel Axe and Derek Aguilar, two muscle-headed idiots, those two guys are an orc and a human, and the Titans know how they both like to solve it with an arm wrestling Question, or do fighters like that?

There are three companions in my room, one is the night elf Udelia Nocturne, her favorite thing to do in the middle of the trip is to return to the Emerald Dream, well, I admit that as a human being, I really can’t understand Emerald The meaning of the dream, but she is really speechless about her lazy behavior.

The other is the blood elf Tarion Morrowind. As a matter of fact, as long as he rests along the way, he will stay away from everyone. The reason is that he is afraid that he will suck everyone dry if he is not able to control his addiction. His approach has won everyone People's goodwill, including Udelia Nocturne, you must know that they had a strong fight when they met for the first time.

For the last one, my feeling is the most complicated. As a member of the Forsaken, Barak is an undead, so every time I meet, I have to resist the idea of ​​purifying him with holy light. Barak seems to know this, But he never said it, just kept his distance from me during the break.

I remember when I was in the Eastern Plaguelands, Lord Fording once told us that race does not represent glory, so I have to have my persistence, as a paladin. "

Angela put down the pen, leaned back on the chair and stretched for a long time, then put her bare feet on the desk in a very unladylike manner, and closed her eyes slightly to enjoy the breeze in May. Summer has already unknowingly upside down.

After a short rest, Angela sat up straight again and began to examine her own beginning. It was terrible. This was her comment to herself. Is this her own original work?She thought so, writing a novel based on "Warcraft" as the background, oh, to be precise, with "World of Warcraft" as the background is her whim.

The reason why it came on a whim was thanks to Edward’s SNES. This game console has now fulfilled its obligations and is quietly lying in the cabinet under the bed. For a guy who is used to playing 3D games, 16-bit The machine really doesn't interest her, and her game skills are really bad.After all, when the first console came out, it was impossible to have the money to buy it, so this kind of game was cracked and played on the computer after the popularity of the computer. Do you need to work hard to study it if you have a cheater?

But now there are no cheats to use, so for a guy who can GAME_OVER in "Contra" in just 30 seconds, this is really not very attractive, so he quickly threw it aside, and just received it at this time Aunt Rowling’s letter, so the idea of ​​writing an original novel with the background of the game popped up in my head inexhaustibly—well, or semi-original.

This job is not so easy to do. As far as the little guy who plagiarizes his ideas, the easiest thing is the tune. As long as she remembers a certain part of it, she can recall the whole thing, and then the lyrics. I can also recall it slowly - don't think that the 8 years of otaku life was wasted.

The script is very difficult. I can only remember the general plot and some details. I need to repair and add it myself. However, writing a novel with a game background is no longer within the scope of plagiarism. It must be able to express it in words. Once there is a situation where there are pictures and scenes but cannot be written, it will be very painful (personal experience T-T).

"Oh, I also plan to write "Silent Hill" and "Resident Evil" into novels, and then let the game company buy them at that time, but now I can't even write novels with the missions of "World of Warcraft" as the background. What a failure, how can I write original scripts in the future." Angela looked at her manuscript and sighed.

Look at the time, it's almost dinner time, the parents are going to attend a charity dinner tonight, only she and Jennifer are at home, so don't wait for the housekeeper to urge you, the little girl muttered and put down the pen and paper, put on her shoes went upstairs.
