BXBX NOVEL Chapter 140: nm0000001, vacation is accumulation
He will not take these things to heart.
As a guy who started buying at $99 a year and was still renewing at $149.9, Roland knew better than these guys now what the future IMDb would look like.
...
To put it bluntly, every time a new feature of IMDb is launched, it is actually an excuse to increase the subscription fee.
From the initial theater box office information, to the later online business cards, to the later TV series interface, and then added the preparation information for new projects. A series of various information such as time peaks, script keyword searches, script category age examples, etc. make people dazzled.
It is true that accurate big data is very helpful for many practitioners. For example, if I want to write a horror movie script, I can check whether my inspiration has been used many years ago based on keyword search. In other words, if the producer wants to select an actor, there is a limit on the age group and image category. With one click of the mouse, resumes that meet the requirements will appear in front of you like a stream of water. If you want to let him audition, then You can directly click on the mailbox in the resume to communicate with the other party, but—for non-practitioners, these things are useless!
Is it possible that you want to send emails through those work mailboxes and female stars?
Wow!
I didn\'t expect you to be such a Hentai!
Let me tell you, sending random emails will get banned!
An honest gentleman like Roland would only watch the popularity of the trailer, and then learn that many people\'s special choices were suspended at the scene where Elizabeth was wearing the comic version of the Scarlet Witch costume!
Well, assuming those guys are taking screenshots...
Of course, even if Roland compares the function upgrade of the IMDb database to Windows, after all, except for upgrading Vista, from 32-bit to 64-bit system, which cannot be fixed with patches at all, other things can obviously be compared with Windows. Like ArchLinux, it performs a rolling update, and it counts wherever it rolls, but it still chooses a version change. The biggest purpose is not to want to collect another sum! Because of this, Roland doesn\'t care about these things, regardless of how fancy the doctors will be about the future functions of IMDb. He understands that Cole Needham is the kind of guy who can stick to one thing for half his life. Just give him money and let him do it. He is more eager than anyone else to get things done.
In this way, when Roland was buried in Cardiff University, after listening to the doctor next to him babbling, he only cared about one question, "Have you made your artist business card yet?"
"Writing category page."
"Who is the number 1?"
“It’s Fred Astaire, I entered this because I was watching his voice acting of The Easter Bunny.”
That\'s right, IMDb\'s number is random, they see where it is written, and it has nothing to do with status.
"Will that change me to number 1?"
"you?"
"Yeah, what\'s the problem? I just open the artist list and people see my name..."
"Oh! No problem! We can change it now!"
Different from searching in the future, there are still a lot of guys looking at the rankings these days.
And Roland let them hang themselves on the homepage, isn\'t it just for massive exposure!
Traditional media is still covering the sky with one hand, but after all, it is a red sea market where white knives enter and red knives exit. News Corporation is almost burning money and vomiting blood to set up a Fox TV network, so how could Roland do this thing again?
Although the blue ocean market of the Internet has not yet taken shape, the terrifying growth of Internet users is the first piece of meat sent by the wind.
In this case, Roland posted his information on the homepage of the most complete database at the moment, isn\'t it equivalent to having your name on the homepage of Weibo every day in the future? You are the first thing people see when they come and go!
Netizens I know will think, ‘Hold the grass! This guy is indeed the most popular one! ’, the guy who didn’t know saw it, it was ‘hold the grass! I\'ve heard this guy\'s name before! Who is he? Can it be ranked No.1 in the database? \'
Roland has never been the kind of guy who likes to hide and hide. Why does overexposure cause aesthetic fatigue?
It means that you have shown an image in front of the public for a long time, so the public will make a play when they see your works!
But now?
Roland just keeps showing his own information in front of tourists. This kind of non-subjective presentation will not only not affect everyone\'s opinion of him, but also continuously attract people\'s attention!
What\'s more, the current netizens are still very simple. Even if they find it strange, they don\'t think about marketing. At most, they think that Roland\'s influence is too great. It is so big that many guys who visit the database every day are searching for him. Information!
As long as this situation continues, even if someone questions Roland in the future, a bunch of guys who have witnessed history will jump out to defend the era they experienced back then, like—
\'You little brats don\'t even know how popular Roland was back then! The first thing netizens all over the world do after entering the IMDb database is to search for his information! \'
‘What hype? There was no such concept at all back then! Those data are entered randomly! The reason why he ranks first is because of his great influence, the guy who enters the information first thinks of him! \'
‘Do you grandchildren know what the one billion in 1993 means? Do you know what 2.5 billion in three years means? No matter what era Roland was in, he was the one who beat everything! \'
‘Why is the boss not the boss? Roland was the original number one sponsor of IMDb! People are for the better development of movies and the Internet! Why are you **** so stubborn? Do you dare to tell your mother these words? I\'m sure your mother will tell you, \'son, what I regret the most is that I didn\'t catch up with Roland back then! \'\'
Alas, this question, your dad\'s head can be able to shoot "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"!
Thinking that what he did today would bring him a lot of ancient treasures in the future, Roland laughed happily. After a simple replacement and landing on the homepage, he became concerned about the development of the website, "Have you run out of 200,000 yuan?"
"No, we are renting a venue to shop the network..."
"Where can I buy a server?"
"In our volunteer team, there are people from IBM, and the price of their equipment is cheaper than ours."
"Oh, this is even better. If you need anything, please email me directly. Don\'t let Mohami pass it on in the future, and don\'t contact my assistant. Everyone is a movie lover, so don\'t be so pretentious!"
Hearing what Roland said, those guys at the scene laughed happily.
Who doesn’t want to be friends with rich locals?
Especially this kind of big money who doesn\'t care about financial statements!
After dealing with the affairs of the database and mingling with them, Roland asked Cole Needham to gather the British volunteers who had been serving the website for a long time, held a meeting, and treated them to a meal. , enhanced feelings a bit.
Well, the reason why Roland showed up was just to give a hint to those guys who use love to generate electricity—
I also like this thing, and support them very much!
If they do well, they will look for themselves when they need funds, and if they want to give up, then think about whether it is worth giving up now. After all, if it becomes big, the website of Yongai Power Generation can instantly become a local boss to take over business!
Half of the effort has been made, so persevere!
If you give up halfway, doesn\'t that mean that all the previous favorites are in vain!
Besides, it doesn\'t require you to pay for it, and it doesn\'t force you to do things you don\'t like. It\'s just that when you watch movies every day, you record the information manually, and then when you see the records on the website, when you look at movies you haven\'t watched, By the way, it\'s just a matter of reviewing whether it\'s right or wrong... A few minutes of work can satisfy curiosity, benefit the society, and save me money. What a wonderful thing!
You can regard the website as the leader of worshiping the moon, and yourself as Li Xiaoyao!
Shout out "Love Infinity", won\'t this Boss be flattened?

...
After spending two days getting everything done on IMDb, Cole Needham took the initiative to act as a tour guide and took Roland around the UK, starting from Harlech Castle in Wales, all the way west...
Phew!
If it goes west, it falls into the Irish Sea, and it goes east!
They first went to Wiltshire to see the Stonehenge that was almost blown up by an explosion in "Transformers 5" in the future; The 18K pure toilet for sterling; then the cat went to Greater London and circled the Thames twice, allowing David and Ganetti to take the three Olsen sisters and James, who was given by the phone bill, for a stroll. Westminster Abbey, a pile of great men, and the Tower of London, which has witnessed the dark history of Britain.
As for why he didn\'t go?
Compared with watching Stonehenge and toilets, there are too many people in London!
As a guy who would be dug out in minutes when he walked into the crowd, Roland didn\'t want to be thrown into the Thames River!
If it wasn\'t because the Coca-Cola London Eye hadn\'t been built yet, Roland really wanted to take Elizabeth to ride the Ferris wheel.
And now...
After waiting for them to come back in the hotel, the group turned north.
To be honest, Roland and the others came out to play, and what they saw was the well-known world heritage.
Like Bath (S) City, Durham Castle, Studley Royal Park, Canterbury Cathedral, these are the places they go-as for Rebs, who skied in Switzerland on New Year\'s Eve, Eating dumplings worth 68 yuan a piece, and two plates of 1,360 yuan, would never happen to Roland!
America has countless places to meet their exercise needs, and if they are going to rest alone for one thing, they will not be wandering around the UK under the leadership of Cole Needham.
To put it bluntly, for them, the so-called vacation is actually just spending money to pass the time.
They can go anywhere they want!
And in the absence of a purpose, it is natural to go after those famous scenic spots. Not only that, but for guys who have never been to the place, it is actually a kind of accumulation.
They don’t need to remember the history here, and they can also look for the beautiful scenery, and they can even feel that the place where the toilet is displayed is really special—but as long as they have been here, it is a kind of harvest.
It\'s like the primary school Chinese teacher asking you to endorse.
Have you really memorized the meanings of all ancient poems?
Not necessarily.
But when you see the beautiful scenery, you say, \'Hey, the danger is high! ’, it’s better than saying, ‘Hold the grass! Really high! ’ Is it much better? Although the meaning is the same, the feeling is naturally different.
Of course, reciting poems does not mean advanced, if you think so, it is actually a kind of discrimination.
In Roland\'s view, what you gain from going around famous scenic spots is not happiness and happiness, let alone checking in with Internet celebrities, but memory and analogy, the basic material that can strengthen human expression ability.
Many people feel that they can\'t express what they want to express, which is a manifestation of stupidity.
But in fact, this is more due to insufficient accumulation. There is a scene in your mind that you don’t know how to describe. The easiest way is to give an analogy, find a famous reference, and let others understand what you mean.
Although this method is simple, it is also a reflection of your own background, and if you continue to extend it with visual accumulation, you will never be able to express what you want to express, or even give up expressing.
And this kind of accumulation is also the easiest to achieve, because you don\'t need to read boring books, you just need to burn money.
What should I do if I don’t remember the history when I go to the World Heritage Site?
It doesn\'t matter, you just need to have an impression. If you are really interested, then we will fly over next time and bring historical materials for research!
Interest is the best mentor, it allows you to take the initiative to understand the world, and money is only a bridge for you to realize your interest.
Koran just happened to be short of money!
Because of this, after ending their journey in England and heading to Scotland, what the group harvested the most was not actually any commodity, as long as it was released for sale, they could be bought anywhere, and the photos that recorded the moment in their hands were the most important thing. The most precious thing, at least after many years, no one will say—
\'Idon\\\'teven have a picture of him. He exists now only in my memory. \'
Unfortunately, this comfortable environment did not last long.
As soon as I entered Edinburgh and settled in the reserved hotel, I discussed the next itinerary with Cole-Nedham at Roland. I was going to visit Edinburgh Castle first, and then try to go to St. Kilda Island, the only one in the UK with nature and The door of the house was knocked from the outside when it was the farthest settled island on the British Isles.
When he opened it, the five-year-old little loli was holding a **** bag and looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Roland—"
"Huh? What\'s the matter? Didn\'t you say to take a break first and gather for dinner at 6:30?" The sweet and greasy voice made Roland a little puzzled, but he still moved away and let the other party in.
"That\'s right, it\'s half past six for dinner, but we have to wear new clothes to eat..." Little Loli blinked her eyes.
"New clothes? What new clothes?" Roland felt a little strange, "Did you just go shopping?"
"That\'s right!" Little Loli nodded, "On the way we just came, there were many locals, and they all looked good in their clothes, so I asked my mother to take me to buy one, one set for each..."
oh!
It turned out to be folk costumes!
After understanding it, Roland suddenly realized, "Okay, give it to me, I\'ll change it later..."
Roland didn\'t think there was any problem with wearing clothes with regional characteristics, or that local characteristics were the goal of their shopping. However, when he took the bag, Elizabeth was still standing in place with her watery face. eyes on him.
"What? Is there anything else?" Roland asked.
"Brother said, I must watch you open the bag before leaving." Little Loli told Roland the reason very honestly.
As soon as the words came out, Roland narrowed his eyes instantly, and at the corner of the concierge, next to Roland\'s guest room, the little fat man who was hiding at the door of his suite and eavesdropped immediately covered his face with one hand, showing pain.
However, just as he was leaning against the door pocket and sliding down in pain like a sloth, Roland, who felt something was wrong, had already opened the bag.
Pick it up and take a look, huh...
Isn’t this special Scottish checkered skirt?
Not only do you want me to wear a skirt, but you also want me to go into battle in a vacuum?
Note: ① Many functions on IMDb have been deleted. For example, California passed an anti-discrimination bill in 2017. Starting in 2018, the age details in the database must be deleted or placed in a very hidden corner. Actors are more competitive, and many big names still exist, because the data can be found on Google, but many newcomers have been deleted.
