Chapter 388 Ivanka's website
Marvel's ultimate universe movie plan is very simple, but it is not easy to implement it. If you don't talk about financial and talent issues, just the ability of Marvel heroes is to perfectly show it on the big screen, it is a big problem.
As we all know, Marvel heroes have a variety of abilities and rely more on CGI special effects when making movies. Today's special effects are not impossible, but if they do it, the cost is too high.
It is not easy for Marvel screenwriters to sort out a suitable linkage line. If they don’t want to become a temporary piece of paper like the former DC and Warner Brothers in the future, they must do some homework in this regard.
After three days of board meeting, Duke was left at Marvel by Stan Lee and Kevin Feige, and planned to exchange more opinions. Duke is an absolute expert in film, and he doesn't understand the comics industry and the surrounding areas, so he 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 didn't expect to stay at Marvel for ten days only.
It wasn't until the first heavy snowfall in New York that he left Manhattan and headed to Wharton in Philadelphia to check out his other $300,000 investment.
"You're finally here."
Just as he got off at the Wharton gate, Duke heard Ivanka Trump's voice, "I thought you forgot our agreement!"
"Sorry, my dear."
Duke smiled at her, "I'm delayed after some trouble."
As he said that, he opened his arms and hugged Ivanka Trump with a light hug. The two of them walked towards Wharton with snowflakes.
"You're wearing too little!"
Release Duke's arm, Ivanka untied the scarf around her neck, turned around and stopped him, surrounding his neck in the cold wind.
The weather is indeed a bit cold, and the east coast of North America is often hit by snowstorms. It seems that this scene is happening now. Duke also tightens his tweed coat and buttons a whole row of buttons.
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier."
He looked up at the heavy snow like goose feathers. Ivanka walked forward first, and there were a lot of snowflakes on her cotton-lined hat and dark gray coat. It was obvious that she had been waiting at the gate of Wharton for a while.
In such bad weather, it is undoubtedly a rude thing to make a lady wait for a long time, and Duke rarely feels guilty.
The snow was obviously getting heavier, and the whole world turned white. Ivankamai walked in front with two long legs. The dark brown leather boots left clear footprints on the snow. Duke chased these footprints and found her tall figure in the wind and snow. The two of them supported each other and walked forward.
"Where are we going?" Duke just spoke when he felt a snowflake crawling into his mouth.
Ivanka turned her head and greeted the wind and snow with her curly blonde hair drooping under her hat, opening her mouth slightly. "What did you say?"
The wind mixed with snowflakes falling, Duke had to approach Ivanka's ears and said again, "Where are we going?"
"Library!" Ivanka understood this time, "There is a public computer room there, and it also provides hot coffee. You can drink and watch our new website."
After walking for about five minutes in the wind and snow, Duke and Ivanka finally arrived at the library. As soon as they walked to the glass door, the warm feeling that came to their faces seemed to instantly return to Los Angeles from Philadelphia. The two of them shook off the snowflakes on their bodies, pushed the door and entered the library. Under Ivanka's leadership, they soon found the public computer room.
After asking for two cups of hot coffee, Duke and Ivanka sat in front of a computer in a partition, waiting for Microsoft's window system to start.
Ivanka held a coffee paper cup and briefly introduced some situations to Duke. Since the two of them had communicated frequently on the phone for more than half a year, she just said it very simply.
"The on-campus server temporarily rented by the website was officially launched on the 22nd of last month. There are special links on the BBS of the college."
After the computer was started, 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 also the number of views and registered users above, but the numbers were a little small.
The number of views of the website is 856, while the number of registered users is only 293.
Duke looked at the upper left corner again. The name of the website is simple, straightforward and clear, instant sharing!
"This is a temporary name..." Ivanka pointed to the address bar and said, "Now it is just a campus network. When the website really goes out and has a first-level domain name, I will think of a louder name."
She turned to look at Duke, "You are also a shareholder, you can think of one."
"Really?" Duke looked thoughtful.
Ivanka blinked playfully, "If the website you want is not a good name, I have a veto."
Duke shrugged, "I'll leave such a difficult task to you."
Then he changed the topic, "It seems that the task of website promotion is very difficult."
"It's only been less than a month since it's open, and it's normal for a few people." Ivanka was not frustrated at all. "I will promote this website at various events at the college and the University of Pennsylvania."
After thinking for a moment, she freed up a hand and pointed to the website's registration office and said, "You are the major shareholder, you should contribute a number of registrations. It is best to pass a photo of your life. If you, a big director, enter the website, you will definitely attract a lot of people."
Click to open the registration item, Duke registered a user with his real name. Although it is different from the social networking websites he used, this website that seems extremely backward actually has the function of supporting instant upload of pictures.
"Uploading videos is just a plan for the time being. If you can't even upload photos, we don't need to build this website."
Hearing Ivanka's words, Duke couldn't help but turn to look at her. Her expression was extremely serious, just as written in the plan, treating this as an important entrepreneurship.
Social networking websites are an important part of the Internet in the future, and almost all people who surf the Internet cannot do without social networking websites and related social software.
What will happen to this website in the future? I can’t see it at all now.
"Hello, Wharton!"
After the registration was completed, Duke left this message. He clicked on the page and looked back and forth for a while. This website still had a bit of blog-like characteristics.
"Are there any good suggestions?" Ivanka asked.
When Duke came over, he thought of something, "After the website has a first-level domain name, I will have someone hang it on my personal website."
"Well, a good idea." Ivanka nodded, "I will also mobilize some relationships between my friends and family."
She took a sip of hot coffee and asked, "Where is the website? Do you think there is anything to improve?"
"It can continue to enhance its sharing function." Duke recalled the two social softwares with 'micro' they used, and said, "For example, registered users can follow each other, add them as friends, build their own circle of friends, and like pictures, videos or messages shared by others..."
Ivanka put the coffee cup aside, took out the note book and wrote it on, "Is there any?"
Duke didn't have much inventory in his stomach, but he just talked about some of the characteristics of the two social software he used in general. As for whether it can be realized in the future, it is not within his consideration.
But then again, Ivanka initially wanted to build a video sharing website, but due to the limitations of servers and funding technology, the website has become what it is today. If these social traits are added, what will it become in the end?
To be honest, Duke is very curious.
He 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 influenced by him, she will embark on a completely different business path than before.
Because the trip to the East Coast was severely overdue, New York and Los Angeles were both working and waiting for him. After the blizzard stopped, Duke planned to leave Philadelphia and return to New York first.
"Dear, I'm waiting for you to make the website bigger and then go public. The stocks will rise sharply, and we will become super rich together." When leaving Wharton, Duke made a small joke to Ivanka Trump.
Ivanka was full of confidence, "Wait, Duke, you are in the lead now, but I will always catch up with you."
Back in New York, Duke went directly to Victoria's Secret headquarters and met Rebecca Fein, vice president of Victoria's Secret. Under her leadership, he went to Victoria's Secret's design room to visit. He was busy preparing for next year's super show, and the projects prepared were related to the agreement reached by both parties on the Lord of the Rings.
Next year's Victoria's Secret Angel Show, the theme will be closely centered around the elves!
Victoria's Secret angels have been taken to training camps in Florida for rigorous training so that their figure can be more in line with the elf's elegance and slenderness.
Subsequently, Duke's art director Hanna Selena also rushed to New York from another place, and she will assist Victoria's Secret related work.
Before returning to Los Angeles, Duke went to the Upper East Side to meet Erin Lauder, who had just returned from Europe. Since establishing her personal makeup brand, her work has been much busier than before, and she has a tendency to become Mrs. Leah. Not only do she fly around North America and carry out necessary commercial promotions, she will also fly to Europe and actively operate and enter 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 the post-production of "The Rings Expedition". After completing the special effects of the opening battle at Vita Studio, he edited the first advertising trailer and handed it over to Warner Bros.
This 30-second commercial will appear in the new Super Bowl! (To be continued...)
