563. Chapter 563 Ready to make public?
"We can't turn Facebook into another YouTube, no time, energy, and talent." This is the first thing Sean said to Neil when he knew the content of the upcoming Facebook board.
"Facebook can be more valuable in the hands of Mark Zuckerberg." This is the second sentence.
It is no secret in the circle that Yahoo plans to acquire Facebook. Zuckerberg said that if the other party bids 1 billion, it can be considered, and this spread quickly. So Neil informed Sean immediately, hoping that he could persuade Zuckerberg and ask YouTube to acquire Facebook. Anyway, they happened to cash out a lot recently.
But after careful consideration, Sean rejected his suggestion. It was simple. They were too busy. Although the capital game in the United States was quite perfect, just like Hollywood, no one was irreplaceable, but those genius characters always led the trend, such as Steve Jobs. No matter how many people attacked him, they had to admit that the miracles shown by Apple proved one thing, and this company could not do without him.
Zuckerberg may not be able to reach this point, but it still plays a great role in promoting Facebook. He started with technology himself. Although Sean can remember only a limited amount of things, he also knows that Zuckerberg was the CEO of Facebook from beginning to end, and Facebook cannot bring him more voice within Hollywood, and YouTube has already achieved enough benefits. It is better to let it go rather than take risks.
It can also be seen from this that Sean is not the kind of person who likes adventure very much. His previous adventures were carried out with a very confident situation. So Neil did not mention this again afterwards. He just gave suggestions. Sean was the one who made the decision.
What's more, according to the news from Facebook - as the earliest investor and major shareholder, Sean also has several familiar people inside, and they don't want Facebook to be sold, so they are happy to convey some news.
Anyway, someone asked Zuckerberg, it was indeed a lot of money, but what would you do after selling Facebook? Zuckerberg thought about it and replied: It’s still a social networking website.
Then, since the decision was made, the interests were naturally maximized, so Sean almost supported Zuckerberg at the meeting and even drew a big cake.
It would be too unrestrained if Zuckerberg really sold Facebook because of the butterfly effect. This clear support can be stabilized, increase his confidence, and gain his gratitude.
Sean doesn't expect the other party to be grateful for it forever, but at least he can know that he is his ally and often he has to pay some price to win over allies.
Without talking about this, after the meeting ended, Sean immediately returned to the crew of "The Dark Knight" and went back on Sunday afternoon, without waiting until Monday. You know, there was no Batman shot on Monday, and Christopher did not mean to ask him to come back in advance.
In fact, after all, it is still a matter of professional quality. The feeling of going back to the crew in advance to prepare is different from coming back after a while. Moreover... Sean heard Christopher and Jonathan talk about their new movie in private, not the third prequel, but the conception of dreams that Jonathan had revealed to Sean before.
Although Sean volunteered to play the leading role in this movie, Christopher temporarily agreed because he liked to work with familiar actors, but as long as he was not prepared for a day, this matter would not be done accurately in one day.
Then, when the two brothers were talking about bringing this, Jonathan asked a question. If they cooperated with Sean, would the audience feel aesthetic fatigue?
Although he just mentioned it casually and Christopher didn't answer, he didn't express his objection clearly, right? This is a bit bad.
To be honest, Jonathan's concerns are understandable. Although many directors like to use familiar actors, if they work too much and always appear on the big screen, the audience will inevitably feel like they are in a hurry.
Of course, as long as you are an actor, you will encounter this kind of problem, so acting is very important, and many actors play the roles themselves.
This situation is especially serious for superheroes. When an actor becomes the spokesperson of a superhero, no matter what role he plays, people will always say that a certain hero has appeared, which means that from the beginning, the actor has not been substituted into the movie as a character.
That's why, the more you act in a series of movies, the further you get from the Oscars.
Although Sean took advantage of the loopholes in "Batman" and believed that his acting skills would reverse this situation, this is still a series of movies, and the director and producer will also have their own considerations.
Therefore, proper performance of professionalism will definitely be helpful for future competition.
Time came in mid-August, and the filming stopped, stopped, stopped, ended the scene in Chicago and returned to the studio in Los Angeles for a while. The progress of "The Dark Knight" was finally half over, and then the crew went to the UK.
Christopher is a British man, so he will definitely film it in the UK. The first part is like this. Batman's manor and various warehouses are basically filmed here. With a series of tax refund policies, the second part will naturally come here to get more outdoor scenes and shoot more content, so Katie also came here.
"What's the scenery in England?" asked Sean on the rental yacht, looking at both sides of the Thames.
"It's not that I haven't seen it." Katie curled her lips, looking unhappy.
"Okay, Katie, I just don't think Suri should be left alone at home, after all, we're going to come out for many days." Sean said coaxingly
"Then you can tell me and then let the nanny take her over." Katie was still a little dissatisfied.
"I'm just worried. After all, no matter what, we had at least one of us who could rush over immediately when she needed it, so it would be fine to leave for a day or two," Sean continued to coax, "but it's not possible now, we can't leave her for too long."
Katie came to the UK with Sean. Suri was left at home and handed over to the nanny for care. Although this is not impossible, Sean had to stay here until the end of September or early October before returning. Although Katie was not that long, it would take at least two weeks.
In this way, the time is too long, which is not conducive to the growth of the little guy. Besides, she has not been weaned yet, and there seems to be a law that does not allow this situation. Although the shooting must be as intermittent as before, Sean can use the gap to go back and forth between the two continents, which is very convenient for people with private jets.
But that's too tiring and I can't stay at home for too long. It would be fine if I customize a Boeing 747 or Airbus A380, but the problem is that the only model 747-400, which is still in operation, no longer accepts orders at the beginning of the year, and the replacement 747-8 has not been officially put into use. The latter will not start its first commercial flight until October this year.
Besides, even if he can place an order, he will not get it for a while. He will always have to decorate and hire a crew.
So, after Sean, who loved his daughter more, realized this, the nanny brought her over, but he only told Katie after doing it, so she was a little angry.
"Now you're not worried about being seen and found out, huh?" Katie asked with a pout.
She also knew that it was inappropriate to keep Suri at home alone for a long time. Even with a few nannies, she did not object to bring Suri here. She was just worried about what to do if someone found out. Paparazzi in the UK were very powerful. In addition, just as Sean complained that Naomi always focused more on her son, she always complained that he was paying more attention to his daughter.
"Anyway, it will be known to others sooner or later. It doesn't matter if the crew knows it first, right?" Sean smiled and kissed her face.
"What a pity..." Katie looked worried.
"I know what you worry about, but sooner or later they will know. Instead of letting them know through the tabloid, you should tell them in person, don't worry, I will face them with you." Sean said comfortingly.
What Katie was worried about was nothing more than how to face her parents. As a Catholic, she not only had her pregnancy before marriage, but she had not yet married Sean. It was hard to say what kind of reaction the family would have. Anyway, she instinctively didn't want them to know. Obviously, in her heart, the family's prestige is still very strong, but because of this, she has not been discovered by her family since she got pregnant to giving birth to Suri until now.
So, when it was possible to go back and face it, she began to worry and nervous.
In fact, if possible, Sean hopes to keep it hidden, but as he said just now, these things will be known sooner or later. For example, three weeks ago, he saw news that "King Kong actress Naomi Watts is suspected to have a child."
Fortunately, although the guy who wrote the blog promised that he had seen Naomi go shopping with a child with his own eyes, the pictures were so blurry that even people couldn't see clearly. In addition, he admitted that he noticed it with a glance while riding the bus, so it basically did not attract much attention.
Even so, it was reprinted by several small websites, so Sean called Naomi to ask her to be careful.
So, when Alexander gets a little older, if Naomi is dressed up accidentally on the street, it will be difficult to not attract attention. If you want to say that this is someone else's child... Do you think everyone is a fool?
Therefore, Sean felt it was necessary to make a certain degree of disclosure. The consequences caused by his disclosure and being discovered by reporters are different, and the degree of control is also different. This is the judgment of the team behind him. Even if he was a little vague to them, he also conducted detailed analysis and gave some solutions.
