Made in Hollywood

Marvel's ultimate cosmic movie plan is very simple to say, but it is not easy to achieve it, let alone the issues of funding and talents, just the ability of the Marvel heroes, if they want to perfectly show it on the big screen, it is quite big problem.

As we all know, Marvel heroes have a variety of abilities, and film production relies more on CGI special effects. Today's special effects are not impossible, but if they can be done, the cost is too high.

There are also Marvel's screenwriters sorting out a suitable series of main lines, which is also not easy. If you don't want to become a temporary patchwork like DC and Warner Bros. in the future, you must do a certain amount of homework in this regard.

After the three-day board meeting, Duke was left at Marvel by Stan Lee and Kevin Feige, and they planned to exchange more opinions. Duke is an absolute expert in movies, and he doesn't know much about the comics industry and the surrounding area. It can only communicate with the two from the perspective of the movie.

Originally, Duke planned to complete this trip to the east coast within a week, but he did not expect to stay at Marvel for ten days.

He didn't leave Manhattan until the first snow of winter in New York City, and went to the Wharton School in Philadelphia to see the results of another $300,000 investment.

"You finally came."

Just after getting off the bus at the entrance of Wharton, Duke heard Ivanka Trump's voice, "I thought you forgot our agreement!"

"Sorry, dear."

Brushing the snowflakes falling from his head, Duke smiled at her, "It's temporarily delayed."

As he said that, he opened his arms and hugged Ivanka Trump gently, and the two of them walked towards the Wharton School under the snow.

"You're wearing too little!"

Letting go of Duke's arm, Ivanka took off the scarf around her neck. He turned around and stopped in front of him, wrapping his neck, which was exposed in the cold wind, tightly.

The weather was indeed a little cold, and the East Coast of North America was regularly hit by blizzards, which seemed to be happening now, as Duke tightened his woolen coat and buttoned up a full row of buttons.

"The snow is getting bigger and bigger."

He looked up at the goose feathers of snow. Ivanka stepped forward first, her cotton hat and dark gray coat were covered with a lot of snow, apparently waiting at the entrance of Wharton for a while.

In such bad weather, it is undoubtedly very rude to make a lady wait for a long time, and Duke rarely feels some guilt.

The snow was noticeably heavier. The whole world turned white, Ivanka walked ahead with her long legs, her dark brown leather boots left clear footprints on the snow, Duke chased these footprints, in the sky. She found her tall figure in the snow. The two were not afraid of the severe cold and wind and snow, and supported each other as they walked forward.

"Where are we going?" Duke said when he felt snowflakes get into his mouth.

Ivanka turned her head and greeted the blizzard with curly blond hair that fell from her hat. He opened his mouth slightly, "What did you say?"

The wind was mixed with snowflakes falling. Duke had to lean closer to Ivanka's ear and said again, "Where are we going?"

"Library!" Ivanka understood this time. "There's a public computer room. There's also hot coffee, so you can watch our new website while you drink it."

After walking in the snow for about five minutes, Duke and Ivanka finally arrived at the library. As soon as they walked to the glass door, the warm feeling that came from Philadelphia seemed to return to Los Angeles in an instant, and the two shook off each other. Snowflakes on his body, pushed the door into the library, and led by Ivanka, he quickly found the public computer room.

Ordering two cups of hot coffee, Duke and Ivanka sat in front of a computer in a partition, waiting for Microsoft's Windows system to start.

Ivanka held a coffee cup and briefly introduced some situations to Duke. Since the two had frequently communicated on the phone for more than half a year, she just said it briefly.

"The on-campus server temporarily rented by the website was officially opened on the 22nd of last month. There is a special link on the BBS of the college."

After the computer was started up, Duke opened the browser, entered the URL directly according to Ivanka's words, and soon entered a website page that looked quite simple. There was a prompt for registered users in the upper right corner of the page, and there were browsing numbers at the top. And the number of registered users, but the numbers are somewhat small.

The number of pageviews to the website was 856, and the number of registered users was only 293.

Duke took another look at the upper left corner. The name of the website is simple and straightforward - instant sharing!

"This is a temporary name..." Ivanka pointed to the address bar and said, "It's just a campus network now. When the website really goes out and has a first-level domain name, I will think of a more prominent name."

She turned to look at Duke, "You are also a shareholder, you can think of one."

"Really?" Duke looked thoughtful.

Ivanka winked playfully, "If the name of the website you think is not good, I have the right to veto it."

Duke shrugged, "I'll leave such a difficult task to you."

Then he changed the subject, "It seems that the task of website promotion is very difficult."

"It's only been opened for less than a month, and it's normal that there are few people." Ivanka is not frustrated. "I will promote this website at various events at the college and the University of Pennsylvania."

After thinking for a while, she freed up one hand, pointed to the registration office of the website, and said, "You are a major shareholder, please contribute a registration number, it is best to send a picture of your life, if you, a big director, are stationed there The website will definitely attract a lot of people.”

Clicking on the registration item, Duke registered a user with his real name. Although it was different from the social networking website he had used before, this extremely backward website actually had the function of supporting instant uploading of pictures.

"Uploading videos is just a plan for the time being. If you can't even upload photos, there is no need for us to build this website."

Hearing Ivanka's words, Duke couldn't help turning his head to look at her, her expression was extremely serious, and as written in the plan, she regarded this as an important venture.

Social networking sites are an important part of the future Internet, and almost everyone who goes online is inseparable from social networking sites and related social software.

What is the future of this site? Can't see it now.

"Hello, Wharton!"

After the registration was completed, Duke left this message. He clicked on the page and flipped back and forth for a while. The website still had a bit of a blog-like feature.

"Any good advice?" Ivanka asked.

When Duke came over, he thought of something, "After the website has a first-level domain name, I will let people put it on my personal website."

"Well, good idea." Ivanka nodded, "I will also initiate some relationships between my friends and family."

She took a sip of hot coffee and asked, "What about the website? Do you think there's anything to improve?"

"You can continue to enhance its sharing function." Duke said while recalling the two social software with 'Wei' he used, "For example, registered users can follow each other, add as friends, and establish their own circle of friends. , and like pictures, videos or messages shared by others..."

Ivanka put the coffee cup aside, took out the notepad and wrote it down, "Anything else?"

Duke didn't have much stock in his stomach. He just talked about some of the characteristics of the two social software he used before. As for whether it can be realized in the future, it is not within his scope of consideration.

But having said that, what Ivanka originally wanted to build was a video sharing website, but limited by the server and capital technology, the website has become what it is today. If these social characteristics are added, it will eventually become What is it like?

To be honest, Duke was very curious.

He has worked with Ivanka for a long time, knowing that this is a very capable girl, and what she lacks is nothing more than practical experience. Perhaps under his influence, she will embark on a completely different business path than before.

Because the trip to the East Coast was seriously overdue, there were jobs waiting for him in New York and Los Angeles. After the snowstorm stopped, Duke planned to leave Philadelphia and return to New York first.

"Honey, I'm waiting for you to make your website bigger, then go public, the stock goes up, and we become super-rich together." When he left Wharton, Duke opened up to Ivanka Trump Little joke.

Ivanka is confident, "Wait, Duke, you are in the lead now, but I will catch up with you one day."

Back in New York, Duke went directly to the headquarters of Victoria's Secret and met with Rebecca Fein, the vice president of Victoria's Secret. Under her leadership, he specially visited the design room of Victoria's Secret, which is busy for next year. to prepare for the super big show, and the prepared project is related to the agreement on the Lord of the Rings reached by the two parties.

Next year's Victoria's Secret Angels show, the theme will be closely around the elves!

The angels of Victoria's Secret have been pulled to the training camp in Florida for rigorous training so that the figure is more in line with the elegant and slenderness of the elves.

Subsequently, Duke's art director Hannah Serena also arrived in New York from the field, and she will assist in the related work of Victoria's Secret.

Before returning to Los Angeles, Duke went to the Upper East Side to meet with Erin Lauder, who had just returned from Europe. Since setting up a personal makeup brand, her work has become much busier than before, and she has become Mrs. Leah. The trend is not only flying around North America for necessary commercial promotion, but also flying to Europe, actively operating to penetrate the European market.

This trip to the East Coast took Duke half a month before he returned to the Lord of the Rings studio in Los Angeles to continue post-production work on The Fellowship of the Ring and complete the opening battle at Weta Studios. After the special effects were produced, the first commercial trailer was edited and handed over to Warner Bros.

This 30-second commercial will appear in the new Super Bowl! (To be continued ~^~)
