Lena Kane mentioned the story about Spartacus, which was extended by Zach Schneider, who Simon had met yesterday.

When I saw Zach Schneider's name in the Sundance competition information, Simon quickly thought of the "Spartan 300 Warriors" that made Schneider among the front lines of Hollywood. This is an adapted from the comic work of the famous cartoonist Frank Miller. It tells the story of 300 Spartan soldiers fighting bloody battles in the Hot Spring Pass to resist the 100,000 troops of the Persian Empire in the Hippopotamian War.

The original "Spartan 300 Warriors" comic should have been published in 1998.

Now, it is because of Simon, the big butterfly, that everything has changed.

Things start with Frank Miller.

This famous comic artist has worked in DC, Marvel and other comic companies. The famous "Batman: Return of the Dark Knight" was written by the other party.

In the past, in the 1990s, Frank Miller, who originally worked with Marvel, chose to leave due to the continuous turmoil of this comic company, joined another small Dark Horse Comics company, and started his original works outside DC and Marvel superheroes, and successively created works such as "Sin City" and "Spartan 300 Warriors". The two series were later shot into movies by Robert Rodriguez and Zach Schneider, and both were very successful.

However, this time, since Simon intercepted Marvel very early and there was no turmoil in the 1990s, Frank Miller is still in Marvel. Simon checked in advance. Miller is currently creating the "Darkward" series.

As for the once famous "City of Sin" and "Spartan 300 Warriors", they no longer exist.

At the party last night, Simon was inspired and just chatted casually. Although he was sorry, he did not mean to make these two series again. Without that time, he would inevitably seem abrupt when he came up with relevant ideas for Frank Miller to do it.

Unexpectedly, Lina would remember it in her heart, so she mentioned it again at this time.

Taking advantage of breakfast time, since Lina said this, Simon nodded: "Yes, just follow what I said yesterday, using the Battle of Hot Springs as the background, the name is "Spartan 300 Warriors". As for the script, I think it can be displayed first in the form of a comic. In the future, the style should not be as realistic as "Brave Heart". It is best to shoot in full CG. The same comic style will have a very strong visual impact, which will give people an alternative sense of cruelty and romantic."

Simon said, and asked Carmen Keth around him to bring paper and pen to quickly outline the classic poster of "Spartan 300 Warriors" in his memory: Under the gloomy sky, the Spartan warriors wearing cloak drove Persian soldiers off the cliff like dumplings.

Then he handed it to Lina and then said, "It's probably this way. CG shooting does not require too fine rendering, nor does it require too large-scale extras, and the cost is easy to control. By the way, if you can sign Schneider, his photography style is just right for this movie."

Lina and Annika beside her looked at the drawing in front of her, and then cooperated with the man's explanation, and quickly understood what style Simon wanted to get.

There are always some reference templates for Hollywood bombshells, but the two women couldn't remember which movies used the same similar techniques for the plan proposed by Simon for a while. Thinking about it this way, it was inevitable that it would be a bit sudden. No one had done it before, and it might give the audience a special viewing experience.

The freshness is the most valuable.

With a secretly made up his mind, Lina couldn't wait to start asking more details, and Simon also had questions and answers.

After chatting like this, until breakfast ended, Simon set off to leave Parker City.

The private jet is already waiting in Salt Lake City and will fly directly to Hangzhou, China.

On the mountaintop villa in Park City, there was a group of large and small bellies left.

And, today's reputation began to spread, "The Witch Blair".

After yesterday's premiere, based on the feedback from a large number of media today, the comprehensive media score of "Blair the Witch" reached 8.7 points, which is quite excellent.

Until the evening, the 14th Sundance Film Festival this year closed. As the main competition unit, "Blair the Witch" did not win the highest jury award, which was expected. However, the film also won another very symbolic award: the Best Audience Award.

With the end of Sundance, Daenerys Entertainment has officially announced the schedule of the film, and "The Witch Blair" will officially start painting on February 6.

The closing ceremony was already January 25th, and the paintings started on February 6th, with only two weeks left.

The official trailer for this movie was announced at the same time as the schedule.

Daenerys Entertainment still uses relatively cheap promotional and promotion techniques, and only puts official trailers of the movie on YouTube platform.

On the other hand, on the morning of January 25, he set off from Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, and experienced about 12 hours of flight. Coupled with the time difference, Simon arrived in China. It was already the morning of January 26 in this side of Asia, just the day before New Year's Eve.

It is still a completely undisclosed itinerary, and as for being low-key, it is not considered a matter of being low-key.

Simon's identity cannot be kept low-key even if he wants to keep a low profile. According to the accidental disclosure of Lin Su's sister Lin Lan, because it was confirmed that he would come to the New Year, many people here had already prepared one week in advance.

The mansion on the west bank of West Lake.

From the 29th to the first and second grades of junior high school, I finally calmed down a little after three consecutive days.

Time is coming to the third year of junior high school.

Thursday, January 29th of the Gregorian calendar.

Lin Lan and his wife drove over early in the morning. After entering the door, Lin Lan sent her husband to free activities. She came to the back house and soon found her mother who was walking in the courtyard with a fat boy with her two maids.

He raised the little hat that covered his face tightly and greeted him a few times, and Lin Lan couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, where are the sister and brother-in-law?"

Lin's mother gestured to the main house, and quickly grabbed her second daughter who wanted to run over: "Don't go, I haven't gotten up yet." She said that, and directly grabbed Lin Lan to the west wing room and handed the child over to a clean and gentle young woman. The woman took the child, but she was not shy and started feeding the child directly.

Lin Lan chatted with the little girl's nurse for a while, then came to her mother's ear with a smile: "Mom, is it because my brother-in-law will not feed the baby after she comes?"

Listening to his second daughter's joking look, Lin's mother couldn't help but smile, then glared at her girl: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that your sister is angry."

Lin Lan stuck out her tongue.

In fact, I have decided to tease my sister privately, well, of course I have to wait for that brother-in-law to leave.

When Lin's mother saw Lin Lan sticking out her tongue, she knew that her daughter was uneasy. However, she also knew that her girl knew the right way, so she didn't say much, but asked, "What are you doing here early in the morning?"

Lin Lan felt the disgust in her mother's tone and felt aggrieved: "Mom, I'm your dear daughter, can't you come to see you?"

Lin's mother thought about it and did not care about the customs of going to a relative in the third year of junior high school, but said, "If you have any problems, you must tell your sister first, don't look for Simon directly."

Lin Lan hugged her mother and relatives and shook her, then leaned into Lin's ear again: "I understand, it's really okay. I just come and show my face in front of my brother-in-law."

When Lin's mother heard this, she poked her daughter's head gently, but didn't say much.

Seeing a fat boy feeding until he started to spit bubbles, Lin Lan snatched his nephew and began to teach this little guy who could speak very early to call his aunt. So until after nine o'clock in the morning, a maid said that a couple in the house had already had breakfast, so she ran over with her child in her arms.

Simon and Lin Su were sitting on the sofa in the study room on the side of the main hall, looking through some information.

Seeing Lin Lan coming in with the little guy in her arms, Lin Su reached out to get the child over, but Lin Lan avoided it, held the child next to her, and smiled and said, "Just let me come, you can continue to be in love with me."

Lin Su glared at his sister embarrassedly: "What did you come here to do so early?"

Lin Lan did not hide at all: "Cheer up with my brother-in-law."

Simon turned the drawing in front of him a page, and smiled and said, "Come on, I wish me another New Year's greetings, I have New Year's money."

Lin Lan raised the little guy: "Qianshu, call him dad, ask for New Year's money."

The little guy who was still spitting milk bubbles was lifted up by his aunt, kicking and giggling, and obediently shouted "Dad".

Then the child was snatched by Lin Su, who was worried that his sister's hand would slip.

Lin Lan simply came over and squeezed beside her sister, and passed over Lin Su's little guy on her lap to look at the information that had just been spread in front of the two of them: "What are you looking at?"

Lin Su explained: "You have seen the Wuzhen development plan before."

Lin Lan was a little surprised: "Sister, you don't want to invest in this project, it's so unreliable."

Lin Su said: "Just show Simon, and the planner spent a lot of effort, I actually think it's pretty good."

"What's the use of the plan, no matter how good the plan is," Lin Lan disagreed. Seeing Simon looking over, she crossed her sister and said to Simon: "Brother-in-law, this is a trap. I went to Wuzhen to see it. It was completely ruined and there was no repair value at all. Moreover, even if the repair was completed, there was no other attractions that could attract tourists except Mao Dun's former residence."

Simon said: "If the ancient town itself is done well, isn't it a resource to attract tourists?"

Lin Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded slightly, and then said, "Maybe that's the case, but brother-in-law, if you really want to invest, there are too many better ancient towns in Zhejiang, such as Nanxun, which has a large area and a bunch of excellent attractions. In addition, there is Yanguan Town. When Qianlong went to Jiangnan six times, he stayed in Yanguan Town, and you can see the Qiantang tide there. Then there is Puyuan Town, which is said to be the hometown where Xi Shi and Fan Li lived in seclusion, and these are better than Wuzhen."

Simon smiled and listened to Lin Lan Balabala, and was also moved.

In my memory, there are hundreds of ancient towns in China that have been restored or artificially built, spread all over the country, with investments of hundreds of billions and billions of yuan. Many ancient towns have much better foundation than Wuzhen. However, Wuzhen, which has not been outstanding in all aspects of hardware conditions, has emerged in it and has become the best among the ancient town attractions in China. There are so many places to think about.

As for Simon's personal, his biggest feeling is that it is up to people to succeed.

The literal meaning of success lies in people.

Just like the rise of Hengdian once had a backbone, and the prosperity of Wuzhen also had a backbone. It is the tireless and conscientious work of these people that created a series of business and humanistic miracles. In comparison, many projects that only invested money purely, whether they spent billions or tens of billions, were often disappointing.

Let’s talk about the Wuzhen development plan in front of you. The reason why Simon is interested is because the planner signed by Liang Zhiyu.

I happened to have some impressions.

Without arguing with Lin Lan any more, Simon told Lin Su: "The first phase only requires 60 million yuan of investment. It's nothing to try. However, investing in similar projects is very high. Even if you succeed, you don't want to recover the cost in the short term. Even if you want to make a scale, you must continue to invest. In short, in my opinion, you can invest, but don't."

Lin Su let the restless little guy sit facing his father and said, "Then I invest, just treat it as a contribution to my hometown. Haha, I have also watched those YouTube videos, and also met that person, Xie Qingmoe." When Lin Su mentioned a girl's name, she had some temptation in her eyes. Seeing that the man was indifferent, she did not go into it. She continued, "Anyway, tourists can't see the videos on the Internet. They are beautiful, but they come to the field and are ruined and returned in disappointment."

Simon smiled and didn't say much.

Although they are the same person, whether they can succeed this time depends on luck.

And the chance is very low.

After all, there were hundreds of ancient Chinese towns that were blooming everywhere, burning countless funds, but few of them were successful.

Therefore, this investment can only be considered sentiment, making money, etc., so don’t think too much about it.

Lin Lan heard the two people next to him casually finalize a project worth 60 million yuan, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue: "It's so rich, 60 million yuan, and it's just a waste of water."

Simon is leaving tomorrow, and Lin Su still cherishes the opportunity for them to be alone, so she is no longer so polite to her usual doting sister, looking at the light bulb: "Xiao Lan, what's the matter with you? If you don't say anything, you may not have a chance this year?"

"Okay, okay," Lin Lan also understood that her light bulbs were raised, raised her hands, and finally said, "That's right, I went to the leader's house to pay New Year's greetings last night, and talked to me there, saying that I could be transferred to Beijing, sister, brother-in-law, do you think I should go?"

Lin Su looked directly at Simon.
