Jimmy really hadn't thought about this before, because his main target was Pixar, but now with the opportunity of "Shrek", the possibility of acquiring PDI has greatly increased, so now he must consider it.
But there was no need to tell Spielberg about this, so Jimmy changed the topic and said: "Steven, tomorrow is our company's game theme day, and there is a game among them that you may be interested in."
"Really?" Spielberg said with some surprise, "Will there be any special games? I know all your company's games and have played them all. Is there a new game to be announced tomorrow? But there was no news at all before.
No, this is not in line with your usual product release routine."
Speaking of games, Spielberg is quite interested because he is very obsessed with video games.
In the early years, Spielberg took some documentary photos. In one of them, Spielberg, who was in his thirties, was sitting in his office, surrounded by some movie posters, but attentive viewers were still in this photo.
I saw something different. Next to his shoulder, there was a full-size Nintendo original Donkey Kong.
Spielberg plays games not just for fun, he plays them very professionally. He even wrote the preface for a collection of arcade guides written by Martin Amis, explaining his obsession with the taitao arcade game "Space Invaders"
.
Not only does he personally like to play games, most of the movies he has participated in the production can be related to games.
For example, "ET", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and "The Goonies", these movies have all made games, some of which are more successful, such as "The Goonies", from the birth of this game to today, this game is very popular.
welcome.
But some games are terrible, such as "E.T." It is said that after this game was released, tens of thousands of game cartridges were quietly buried in the desert of New Mexico by Atari because they could not be sold.
A few years ago, Spielberg also participated in the development of a video game business called Sega Gameworks, which was a large-scale luxury arcade game arcade. He also put a lot of effort into this, but now it seems that the development is not very good.
smoothly.
There are recent rumors that DreamWorks intends to completely withdraw from the video game business.
After "Saving Private Ryan" was released, Spielberg was also considering making a similar video game.
In Spielberg's own words, he has always been a young man addicted to games... Of course, at this time Spielberg should be a middle-aged man addicted to games. He is already over 50 years old.
Jimmy knew that Spielberg would definitely be interested in the game, but he didn't explain much. He just said, "You'll know tomorrow."
Spielberg had strong objections to Jimmy's betrayal, "Jimmy, if you don't want to tell me the answer in advance, then you shouldn't mention this to me in advance."
"This is called creating suspense and anticipation." Jimmy smiled, "Isn't this what you filmmakers have been doing?"
Spielberg was unable to refute these words and could only shrug and said: "I hope tomorrow's game will not disappoint me."
…
When Yu Dong and others were drinking tea and chatting in the top-floor office, the park was already bustling with people. As more and more tourists came to visit, the theme pavilion was already overcrowded.
Later, there was really no choice but to limit the number of visitors in the park. Visitors could not enter the theme pavilion immediately after entering the park. They had to queue up around the park building first and wait until those who had entered the theme pavilion in front of them left before they were allowed in.
It didn't take long for the queue to circle the theme pavilion and the main building, and they had to circle a second time.
This is true outside, not to mention inside the theme museum, where the most popular place is the Deep Space Cinema.
The Deep Space Cinema, which can accommodate more than 400 spectators, was crammed into more than 600 people.
Normally, the Deep Space Cinema will only show two movies a day, and in order to prevent insufficient seats, you need to make a reservation in advance to enter the cinema. However, this period is a special period, and the Deep Space Cinema opens at nine o'clock every day.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, a total of six movies will be played.
And you don’t need to make a reservation to enter the cinema, you can just line up and enter.
Many people came here for the first time today, and most of the people who came here for the first time went to the Deep Space Cinema to check in.
Since the opening of the Deep Space Cinema, it has been very popular among friends. Among other things, watching a movie in the Deep Space Cinema will give you a feeling of making money.
As long as points are deducted to enter the theme building, there is no need to deduct additional points to enter the Deep Space Cinema, and entering the theme building so far only requires 30 points.
With only 30 points, you can enjoy a visual feast in the best cinema in the world. Anyone will feel that they have made a fortune.
Think about it from another perspective, it’s like you spend 30 yuan to watch a movie in a super luxury cinema, and then the cinema will give you 30 yuan worth of stuff, and you can also use the ticket stub to go to the amusement park next to it for a whole day.
.
In fact, whether it is profitable or not is just a joke. The main reason is that most viewers have never seen a cinema with such a good visual experience before, so naturally they want to come and experience it.
Not to mention ordinary movie fans, even those movie stars have never seen a theater with such good effects before.
In addition, there is another very interesting thing about watching a movie in the Deep Space Cinema today, that is, when you walk out of the cinema after watching the movie, you may be able to see the stars you just saw in the movie when you look up.
For example, Tim Roth in "The Pianist", Matthew McConaughey in "The Phone Booth", Jason Statham in "Two Smoking Barrels"...
As soon as Zhang Zuohai came out of the theater, he saw Matthew McConaughey surrounded by movie fans.
At this time, Matthew McConaughey was standing among the fans, smiling and saying hello to the fans, and signing autographs in a friendly manner.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The things that fans handed over were very diverse, including movie posters purchased from the park, signed books prepared by the audience themselves, movie peripheral products, and some even held a copy of a certain author's
The book is signed.
As a "Eastern scholar", in order to study Yu Dong in all aspects, Zhang Zuohai has watched all the movies and TV dramas related to Yu Dong, including "Sniper Phone Booth" starring Matthew McConaughey.
I was deeply impressed by Hugh McConaughey. This young actor's acting skills are not very good.
The wife next to me didn’t know much about Matthew McConaughey, but she had seen it on TV. She pointed over there and said, “Lao Zhang, this seems to be the actor who played “Phone Booth.”
Zhang Zuohai nodded: "Well, Matthew McConaughey, an actor contracted by Deep Space Company, can also be regarded as Yu Dong's favorite actor. He also acted in "The Butterfly Effect" we went to watch together some time ago."
"Is he also the leading actor in "The Butterfly Effect"?" My wife looked puzzled, "It doesn't look like the same person. The male protagonist in "The Butterfly Effect" had an unshaven beard, and he was probably much fatter than the one in front of me."
Zhang Zuohai laughed and said: "It should be a specially adjusted image for the role. Many actors will change their appearance in order to portray the role. This level of change is very normal, and actors look fatter on TV than in reality.
Some."
"Indeed." The wife nodded in agreement. When they entered the park in the morning, they saw the little toy Hu Jing.
When I watched Hu Jing on TV, although he couldn't be considered fat, he definitely couldn't be considered thin. His face felt a little chubby. But when I saw Hu Jing in real life just now, he felt a little thinner. But the real person is indeed very good-looking.
On TV, I only think that the little kid is more out-of-the-box and interesting, but when I see Hu Jing in person, I feel amazing. She is so different from ordinary people. She is a real beauty.
"Let's go." The wife looked at a group of movie fans surrounding Matthew McConaughey, and pulled Zhang Zuohai's arm, "Old Zhang, let's go get an autograph too."
Zhang Zuohai pushed up his glasses and said awkwardly, "How old are we, why are we still joining in the fun with the young people?"
His wife stared at her glasses and said, "What is this word? How old are we?"
Seeing his wife who was about to get angry, Zhang Zuohai knew that he had said the wrong thing and said quickly, "No, no, we are young too, let's go over."
…
After squeezing with a group of young people for half an hour, Zhang Zuohai and the others finally got two signatures.
After squeezing out of the crowd, my wife held up the postcard in her hand and said with a smile, "I will give this postcard to Li Yan when I go back."
Li Yan is a good friend of his wife, but the two always have a secret rivalry. His wife wants to give the postcard to Li Yan. The point is not to share it, but to show off that she came to the deep space park and met the big stars.
Zhang Zuohai smiled and shook his head. His wife and Li Yan had been fighting for more than 20 years, but they still enjoyed it, just like two children.
He looked at the postcard in his hand again. If he wanted to send it, who would he give it to?
After thinking for a while, he suddenly thought of a person: Lao Dong.
Before coming, Zhang Zuohai also sent a message to the old director, saying that he was coming to the Deep Space Park and asked the old director if he could come. However, he did not get a reply. Maybe it was because it was the New Year's holiday and the old director was quite busy recently.
.
The old director probably didn’t come to the deep space park, otherwise he would have told himself in advance. After all, the old director had long known that he was coming to the deep space park.
In this case, it is better to give this signed postcard to Lao Dong and let him keep a souvenir.
…
Yu Dong only saw the Dongdong messages and emails when he turned on his computer at night. Zhang Zuohai contacted him twice. The first time was to tell Yu Dong that he was going to the deep space park in advance, and he was also concerned about whether Yu Dong would arrive too.
Deep Space is here to join in the fun. If you want to come, can you meet me?
The second message turned out to be sent tonight.
Zhang Zuohai has arrived in Jinling, and he also went to the Deep Space Park today. He watched a movie and got Matthew McConaughey's autograph. He asked Yu Dong to give him an address and said he wanted to send the postcard signed by Matthew McConaughey.
Sending it to Yu Dong can be regarded as a gift that Yu Dong has spared no effort to help him for a long time.
After seeing the second message, Yu Dong couldn't help but laugh. He interpreted Zhang Zuohai's intention to send him a postcard as a way to find out.
As a junior netizen who has just been exposed to the Internet for a short time, Zhang Zuohai is very enthusiastic about the issue of face-to-face interviews with netizens. He has expressed to Yu Dong more than once that he wants to chat in person.
Yu Dong looked at the time when the message was sent, it was ten minutes ago.
Zhang Zuohai is currently in Jinling. He should be staying at the Jinling Hotel arranged by Shen Kong. There are no computers in their rooms. If Zhang Zuohai wants to access the Internet, he either has friends in Jinling who can borrow computers, or he can go to a nearby hotel.
cybercafe.
Starting from this year, it has gradually become a normal thing for citizens to go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet, because the current Internet fee has reached a new low. In some places, it only costs two yuan an hour. Compared with when Internet cafes first came out, it cost thirty or forty yuan.
After one hour, it was already very user-friendly.
Although for most people, a few dollars an hour is still expensive, but it can be done occasionally.
The number of Internet cafes is also increasing, especially in Jinling. It is very easy to find an Internet cafe. The surge in the number of Internet cafes and the decrease in Internet fees are actually inseparable from the vigorous promotion of Deep Space Company.
Now when you open an Internet cafe, you can not only earn Internet fees, but you can also earn money from deep space companies.
Internet cafes can get cheap point cards and sell them to customers at normal prices. The profit margin of Deep Sky is particularly large, even reaching 35% in the early stage.
Many Internet cafes can eat and drink just by relying on the profits from point cards. In order to attract customers, they will naturally reduce Internet fees appropriately.
Originally, because there are more and more Internet users, there are more and more Internet cafes, and the cost is getting lower and lower, Internet fees will definitely drop, and then a cycle will form, because Internet fees are getting lower and lower, and more and more people can afford the Internet.
more……
The Deep Space Company just stepped on the accelerator and accelerated the process.
"I don't know if he got off the plane."
Zhang Zuohai's avatar is gray, but you can't tell whether Zhang Zuohai is online through this, because Dongdong launched the invisibility function this fall.
Since this feature was launched, many people like to make Dongdong invisible, creating a group of diving dogs. Yu Dong himself is also a diving dog.
Yu Dong still sent a message to Zhang Zuohai.
[1: Thank you, Lao Zhang, but I am in Jinling now, so there is no need for a postcard. 】
After the news was sent out, Yu Dong was about to go to deep space to see the reaction of netizens during the past two days, but suddenly a beep sounded, indicating that there was new news.
[Zhang Zuohai: Old Dong, are you in Jinling? Did you go to the Deep Space Park today? 】
【1: Well, I went and just came back. 】
[Zhang Zuohai: You actually went. Does this mean that we may have met today without knowing it? 】
【1: Probably not, I have been in the office most of the time today.】
[Zhang Zuohai: Office? Are you a deep space staff member? 】
[Yu Dong: That’s right.]
[Zhang Zuohai: You’re such an old boss, it’s so hard for me to hide it, haha, but it’s not too late to know now. Do you have time tomorrow? Can we meet? 】
[1: Okay, let’s meet at the Literature Museum tomorrow. I have something to do in the morning. At two o’clock in the afternoon, you go to the southeast corner of the Literature Museum. There is a rest area there, and we will meet there. 】
[Zhang Zuohai: Do you want a keepsake? We don’t know each other’s appearance. Let’s do this. I will hold a copy of “Xiang Xi” in my hand. Of course, in order to prevent others from taking the same book, I will hold the copy of “Xiang Xi”.
"It will be the first edition."
Seeing the news about Zhang Zuohai, Yu Dong smiled. This literature professor must have been studying how to meet netizens every day. He even thought about the tokens in advance.
