Rebirth of the Wild Age

study.

Song Weiyang is taking a video call from his son.

Chen Xi should be in the Internet cafe of the military camp, and he was still wearing his training uniform. He said happily: Dad, our company was recorded as a second-class collective meritorious service for participating in the flood fighting and emergency rescue. When the head of the regiment came to inspect, he talked to me specifically and asked me if I would like to continue to stay after my service period expired. In the army.

You did a good job this time, you are a good soldier, keep working hard, Song Weiyang praised, and said, As for whether you should stay in the army, what do you think?

Chen Xi smiled and said, I have been a soldier for less than a year and a half, and it's still early before I become a non-commissioned officer.

Song Weiyang asked: You have to have a long-term plan in your life. What do you plan to do after you leave the army?

Chen Xi thought for a while and said: I think it's quite interesting to be a soldier, and I want to stay in the army. But I don't want to be transferred from conscript to non-commissioned officer, and my development prospects are limited. I plan to go to the military academy. I asked the company commander specifically, and he said The army needs high school or equivalent education to enter the military academy, but I dropped out of school in my second year of high school and did not meet the standards for applying for the military academy.”

Song Weiyang said: If you really want to develop in this field, then after you leave the army, pass the national college entrance examination and enter a military academy.

Chen Xi scratched his head and said, Time is a bit tight. To pass the college entrance examination and enter the military academy, the age of candidates must not exceed 20 years old.

In China, you can join the army at the age of 16, but you must be 17 years old before December 31 of the year you join the army. Those who have just turned 16 when they join the army are not eligible.

Chen Xi is a spring soldier. He was only 16 years old when he signed up. He spent his 17th birthday in the recruit company. When he leaves the army next year, he will be about 19 years and 3 months old, and the time for the college entrance examination has already passed. If you want to take the college entrance examination, you have to wait until the year after tomorrow, that is, when you are 20 years and one month old, which is just over the age limit for fresh college entrance examination candidates to apply for military academies.

Song Weiyang counted the time, frowned and said, I don't know the specific regulations very well. You will be able to retire around August next year. Can you take the national general college entrance examination in the army more than a month earlier?

Chen Xi said: No, I asked. Active soldiers can only apply for the military academy through the army. But I don't have a high school diploma, so I can't take the military academy exam in the army.

That means that the two routes to the military academy are blocked, Song Weiyang said, Young people must pay for their mistakes. Do you understand this sentence now?

Chen Xi smiled wryly: I understand very thoroughly.

Song Weiyang said: I can use many methods to help you apply for the military academy, but they are all illegal operations. You are already considered an Internet celebrity, and you are my son. This kind of practice is easy to be caught. Even if you are admitted Yes, but maybe one day in the future, someone will bring up old accounts and talk about things. Do you need my help to find a way?

No, I'm not stupid, and I'm still wearing a time bomb on my body, Chen Xi said with a little disappointment, It's not that I have to go to the military academy. After retiring, I take the general college entrance examination, and just go to any university. Dad, I'm sorry , I used to be ignorant and made you and mom worry a lot.

Song Weiyang said: Who hasn't been young before, it's normal to make mistakes, as long as you correct it. You still have to be a soldier for half a year and work hard in the army. After you leave the army, I will find a few good teachers to help you make up lessons.

Although the army is a melting pot, Song Weiyang didn't just throw his son into it and leave it alone. He entrusted a lot of connections, allowing Chen Xi to be taken care of during his time in the recruit company. Someone with a red face and a white face would sing at any time, and he would talk with him after practicing to the death. Every day, someone would help this kid reshape his three views.

After Chen Xi's recruit training was over, he was specially assigned to a company of heroes, surrounded by all the best soldiers. Influenced by that kind of collective atmosphere, now the whole person has been completely reborn, full of passion, patriotism and people, and a sense of honor and responsibility.

After the video call ended, Song Weiyang said to the air, Open the door!

The door opened automatically, Song Jing walked in, and asked while playing with his mobile phone, Dad, have you approved that film and television project?

Song Weiyang said: I don't need to handle this kind of specific project at all. The fact that the project letter can be sent to me shows that your plan is too outrageous, and it's not easy for Excalibur Entertainment to reject it directly. Also, Put your phone down, it's very disrespectful.

If it wasn't outrageous, a Hollywood film company would have done it long ago, so it's our turn to do it? Song Jingxing laughed.

Song Weiyang asked: Do you know Excalibur Entertainment's evaluation opinion on this project?

I don't know. Song Jingxing shook his head.

Song Weiyang said: You said that the investment budget is 350 million U.S. dollars. According to the specific situation, the film will lose at least 200 million U.S. dollars. This is still the case that you have done a good job in various promotions. If the promotion is weak, it may take Lose more.

Song Jingxing said: I know this, but we can't just look at short-term profits. Losses during the market development period are too normal...

Song Weiyang hastily interrupted: Don't describe the prospects of the industry to me. I've long been tired of hearing such words. Every year, countless people talk nonsense to me.

Song Jingxing said: Let's do this. If the project loses more than 50 million US dollars, I can do whatever you ask me to do in the future, and I won't mention independent development.

Song Weiyang smiled immediately: Okay. You can go to Excalibur Entertainment to be the vice president. You will be in charge of this project, and you will also be the producer of this movie in an instant. In order to prevent you from being fooled by others, I transferred Shen Xie to Be your deputy.

Song Jingxing was speechless for a moment: That old man is difficult to serve, you are just adding trouble to me.

Shen Xie has long been a legendary employee. He has worked as a relatively low-level employee in companies such as China Science and Technology, Xifeng Group, Jinniu Capital, Excalibur Networks, Sohu Sogou, Joyo, etc., and is even still developing , The investment department muddled through life. In the assessment of each department, Shen Xie tends to be at the bottom, but he is always not eliminated at the end of the old fritters, so he can't be confused.

Gradually, Shen Xie began to be promoted to a grass-roots manager, leading small teams in multiple companies and departments. The team he leads looks just like himself. It also tends to be at the bottom of the list, but it is within the tolerance of the department leaders, and occasionally key projects can break out once or twice.

After more than ten years, Shen Xie's identity has long been exposed, and the leaders of various companies are dumbfounded when they mention this.

Now Shen Xie has entered the senior management system, and he is very sought-after. The CEOs of several companies want to hire him. Because this guy's resume is too rich, he knows all the departments of the company from top to bottom, and he has a pair of sharp eyes. Dealing with middle and low-level managers and ordinary employees is easy, and no tricks can fool him. They are all old routines he has used.

Of course, everyone only dared to let Shen Xie be the deputy of the department, and he was really, really bad at being the top leader!

Shen Xie's current position is the vice president of the HR department of the China Science and Technology Headquarters, and he assisted in completing the reform of the entire HR system. After the reform, cadres at all levels and ordinary employees have mixed feelings. They feel that the working environment is more relaxed, but at the same time, they have been blocked from taking advantage of loopholes and playing tricks. The assessment and rating standards are particularly fair and disgusting.

Even within the HR department, Shen Xie was disgusted, because after the reform, there were more things to do, but the specific rights were restricted.

Shen Xie has become disgusted by people at China Technology, and he must be relocated. Not killing is not enough to anger the people.

As for meditation, he is now the CEO of Joyo.com.

Joyo.com has always been a leader in the field of b2c e-commerce because it has been burning money to cultivate the market for a long time. Even Alibaba has launched b2c business, but it is always overwhelmed and can only dominate in the b2b and c2c fields. JD.com and Pinduoduo are even more difficult, relying on the upsurge of e-commerce going to the countryside to survive. These two companies have already played their heads in the township market.

One of the reasons why Song Jingxing didn't want to deal with Shen Xie was because of deep thinking. He knew Aunt Shen very well, and they had known each other since childhood, but one day when he was in primary school, Aunt Shen suddenly stopped showing up, and his mother, Lin Zhuoyun, never mentioned Aunt Shen.

The reason behind it can be guessed with his knees, Song Jingxing is not willing to meddle in the affairs of the elders. Because his father is too clueless when it comes to women, let's not talk about Shen Si and Chen Tao, but they even... cough cough!

Song Jingxing soon went to Rongcheng to report at Shenjian Entertainment Company.

The Western Science and Technology Park here has been classified as a high-tech zone. It is the center of the IT industry in the western region, especially the online game industry. Various game studios and small companies are everywhere, and even the nearby real estate industry has been driven.

In comparison, the Zhongguancun Software Park in Beijing is even more outrageous.

The Ark Building, a landmark building over the Software Park, almost became a joke in the first few years after it was completed. Dozens of floors of office buildings were designed by I.M. Pei, but the occupancy rate was less than 30%, which became the focus of everyone's ridicule of Song Weiyang.

Until around 2014, due to the widespread application of 4G technology, related industries showed a blowout trend. A large number of new companies were established in the Zhongguancun Software Park, and many large companies set up their capital headquarters here. Song Weiyang's Ark Building quickly exceeded demand, and now that building alone can be sold for sky-high prices.

It is crowded with people during the day and brightly lit at night.

After ten o'clock in the evening, online car-hailing cars and taxis gather there, because the car fare can be reimbursed for overtime work until 10 o'clock. If you place an order one minute late, you may have to wait half an hour to get a taxi, and the roadside is full of people waiting for a taxi.

However, on weekends and holidays, the Ark Building and the surrounding area will become a ghost town. Because the 996 employees all disappeared collectively, and they were unwilling to have leisure and entertainment here, so that various entertainment venues in the area also miraculously chose to close their doors on holidays. Of course, there are also those that are open for business on weekends, just like many office rooms with lights on on weekends, there are always some crazy people who are keen to work hard.

Song Jingxing met Shen Xie in Rongcheng, and they got along relatively well with each other, one was too lazy to care about it, and the other was very good at messing around.

Soon the core team of the project was formed, Song Jing acted as the general manager of the project, and his title in the film should be producer. Shen Xie belongs to the producer or project manager, but since he has never made a movie, he found an executive producer (associate producer) named Yang Changqing.

The Chinese director was also called, named Li Hong, and the four gathered there to discuss the shooting plan.

Excalibur Entertainment is a subsidiary company of Excalibur Network. It has experience in vr production itself. It has also participated in the production of several vr games and vr promotional videos, and often produces cg promotional videos for some games. So the technical team does not need to hire another person, just use their own people, but the choice of the male lead still needs to be considered.

It's fine to attract investment, Song Weiyang's face is not worth it for such a big project that is sure to lose money. Excalibur Entertainment can only invest by itself, and then pull the parent company Excalibur Network to spend money together, and after the filming plan is announced, the company's stock price will probably drop accordingly.

Yang Changqing is a senior producer, he said: Mr. Song...

Song Jingxing interrupted: Don't call me Mr. Song, just call me Xiao Song.

You are the vice president of the company now, so let me call you Mr. Song, Yang Changqing said while smoking a cigarette, Mr. Song, although I have been engaged in production, I have never done film operation work. But after so many years, I also understand some Yes, the prospect of our movie is worrisome. From now on, you have to start promoting. Given the popularity of VR movies in the market, you not only need to promote the movie, but also promote 3D screening halls like Cameron back then Similarly, vigorously promote the VR screening hall.

Song Jingxing followed the example of kindness: Manager Yang, please continue.

Yang Changqing went on to say: Someone used to make VR screening halls, but they all lost money. Now you can't find them in theaters. But you can start with AR screening halls, or MR screening halls. We are very lucky. We just received News, the Hollywood remake of Spider-Man, its mr version has a strong market response!

Is there an mr version of the new Spider-Man? Director Li Hong was surprised. He was busy perfecting the script for the past two months, and he didn't pay attention to the news from Hollywood.

Yang Changqing said: My friend just watched the premiere in Los Angeles. He told me this news. It is estimated that there will be related reports in China soon.

vr is virtual reality and ar is augmented reality.

mr is called mixed reality, which is equivalent to the combination of vr and ar.

In addition, there is the more fantasy cr, which has been hyped for many years, but the technology has not yet completely broken through.

The ultimate version is xr, which is a collective name for all kinds of r. The creator of the concept wants to combine all technologies into one.

The once popular game Pokémon, as well as adding cat ears to people during video recording, etc., all belong to the use of AR technology.

The mr movie screening hall only emerged this year. Not only using AR information projection technology, but also incorporating VR virtual technology, the overall viewing effect is equivalent to a super-enhanced 3D projection hall, allowing the entire viewing scene to be integrated into the movie. Even with the so-called 4D technology, when a bomb explodes in the film, the audience can still experience a burning sensation.

The most interesting thing is the design of the mr projection hall, which is a bit like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, or a modern stadium. The auditorium went around in a circle, and the movie viewing screen was in the middle, and audiences in all directions could see the same content.

Although the new version of Spider-Man has an mr version, it is a pity that there are not many mr screening halls, and various constructions are underway. The domestic copyright of this film has been reserved by China Film in advance, and China Film will definitely not show it immediately, but will first promote mr screening halls in China.

Yang Changqing probably doesn't understand technology. The viewing glasses in the mr screening room can directly play vr movies, so there is no need to bother with equipment promotion.

The times make heroes, and if you want to do business, you must follow the trend.

Song Jingxing's luck is relatively good. If he shoots vr movies two years in advance, it may be difficult to promote them to movie theaters. Now he can take a ride in the mr screening hall.

Moreover, since AR, VR, and MR movies are rare, as long as there is a new movie, the relevant screening halls will definitely rush to release it. Even in the absence of similar films, it is possible to play them in rotation 24 hours a day, because the source of films is too scarce to be released first, and there will be a blowout in two years, when MR films will appear together.

Manager Yang is really talented, this news is very important! Song Jingxing boasted smoothly.

Yang Changqing said modestly: I just knew the news in advance. How can I be considered a talent? After mr blockbusters become popular in Europe and the United States, large domestic film companies will definitely follow up. But the investment is a bit large, and no one dares to act rashly. Many companies sit together and jointly invest. I guess, it is very likely that at the end of next year, or the Spring Festival of the next year, there will be a MR blockbuster released in China. MR blockbusters will be a popular trend in the next few years, just like the previous 3D blockbusters Same. As for the vr movies we are making now, it is estimated that they will remain niche for many years.”

Song Jingxing said: But mr movies are just enhanced versions of traditional movies, and vr movies are a world-changing existence. Its immersive viewing experience is unique. As long as we make this movie well, we may be able to lead the times, and also You will definitely lose money.”

That's right. Yang Changqing smiled without arguing.

Shen Xie suddenly said: Young Master Song, you should hype it up. Our male lead has not yet been decided, but the female lead is Song Ruoxi. Although Song Ruoxi is well-known, but the box office appeal is limited. The genre of the film is small, You have to increase the attention of the movie now, and it will be more convenient to promote it by then.

Song Jingxing didn't bother to correct his address, and asked, You mean, I use myself to hype?

Shen Xie said: The eldest son of the richest man, it's easy to speculate. Why not use it when you have such resources?

Song Jingxing said: The hype has to be based on a character design. I don't even know what character design to use.

Shen Xie said: You have to find a professional to plan this.

Yang Changqing smiled: The domineering president.

Song Jingxing thought for a while: The landlord's stupid son, the public must like it, and he is very down-to-earth.

Half a month later, Yang Changqing, the local snake, invited everyone to sing at a ktv in Rongcheng. The invitees and the fixed male and female protagonists In order to enhance the immersive viewing experience and improve the audience's sense of substitution, after repeated discussions, Song Ruoxi decided Stop acting, all the actors have no reputation.

The male and female protagonists both graduated from majors and have made several movies. Although their acting skills are passable, they have been useless.

Azigul can only play the second female role, and her acting skills still need to be improved. It is impossible to directly ask her to play the leading role. After all, this is a big project with an investment of 350 million US dollars.

As soon as everyone arrived at the ktv, they were surreptitiously photographed by the reporter. The male and female protagonists were deliberately ignored, and the focus of the camera was Song Jingxing and director Li Hong. Tomorrow's news headline will probably be: The richest man meets a Hollywood returnee director, with the producer of Excalibur Entertainment accompanying him throughout the whole process, and it seems that he will officially enter the entertainment circle!

Let’s hype it first, let’s speculate that Song Jingxing may become a star in a movie, and mislead the audience that the richest son will be the leading actor himself. Wouldn’t this crappy movie successfully enter the public eye?

Of course, it must be explained clearly before the official release, and this cannot be used to trick people into the cinema.

In the ktv private room, the two selected actors stood beside Song Jingxing to flatter them the whole time. It's a pity that Mr. Song was neither hot nor cold, and these two also had good eyesight, so they went to flatter the director and producer.

While listening to their singing, Song Jingxing was watching his old classmates playing games live.

The lifespan of lol is quite long, and new heroes and new ways of playing are constantly introduced, and it has survived until 2024. Song Weiyang didn't try to grab business with this thing, it was still represented by Tencent, and it was still Tencent that bought the fist company.

As for Shenjian Network Company, it focuses on self-developed games and has long since stopped being a game agency.

For example, PUBG Mobile was developed by Excalibur Network. Song Weiyang personally proposed the plan, and the chicken-eating game he made, among other things, must have fewer cheats than the Korean guys, and there will be no grand scenes full of gods on the screen.

Even if there is no plug-in, this broken game will decline around 2021, but it has been revived recently because of the launch of the vr version.

Many game anchors have started to play games like a fool, jumping around the room, and occasionally crawling forward to be an old cunt. Anyway, the game screen and the anchor's real screen complement each other, making the audience envious while teasing, and even the vr equipment is also a hot seller.

At present, the average vr device that can support large-scale online games costs about 10,000 yuan. With the increase in users and the increase in output, it is estimated that it is expected to drop below 8,000 yuan. Compared with the salary level at this time, it is much cheaper than buying a top-of-the-line smartphone.

Seeing that PUBG Mobile was showing signs of becoming popular, lol also launched a vr version immediately. At this time, Wu Yongxu was live broadcasting the vr version of lol that had just been launched.

Most of the barrage in the live broadcast room was mocking.

Because the difference between vr games and 2d games is too great, the operation mode is completely different. Players on both sides made all kinds of mistakes, missing soldiers has become the norm, and in the end, everyone simply stopped replenishing troops and fought against each other throughout the process. And Wu Yongxu was playing the jungle position, so he got lost in the jungle, and finally waded into the water and collided with the opponent's jungler in the river.

On the small screen in the live broadcast room, Wu Yongxu was running on the floor of his house with a VR device, and said while running: I'll go, it's so cool, there is really water in the river. There is a river crab there, let me see if I can Riding on it... Fuck, blind monk, stop for me, don't grab my crab!

This funny anchor actually wandered around in his wild area.

Anchor, please discuss with the blind monk, don't kill the river crab, ride up and show everyone.

Can you really ride a river crab?

Nonsense, just now the anchor rode a stone man, but it seems that he can't attack while riding it.

Is this a fucking bug?

I'm thinking, if the anchor rides Papa Lan, and the opponent's robot hooks over, will it hit the anchor or Papa Lan, or both?

Is this still masturbation? Why do you think they are two different games? I really want to buy it and try it.

I'm going, super rocket, brush 30 in a row!

This is Team Rocket!

Kneel down to the boss.

Maybe it's a rich woman.

id Song Xiaoliu? It seems that Song Jingxing's Weibo is called Song Xiaoliu!

The front row is a strong crowd watching Mr. Ma!

...

Song Jingxing threw 30 super rockets and ran away, flooding the live broadcast room with barrage. Then he went into the room of a female anchor, and saw that the girl seemed very pure, so he threw another 20 super rockets out.

At the beginning, the female anchor thanked her repeatedly, but when she saw the Rockets firing one after another, she was so excited that she couldn't speak at all: Thank you, thank you...Thank you, sir, I'm so excited, this is the first time I've met Super Fire , thank you...There is a barrage saying that it was Young Master Song who used the rocket, is it true? Ahhhhh...I was turned over by Young Master Song!

Anyway, I was bored at the KTV, and Song Jingxing still had a lot of pocket money left, so I just came here to amuse the dull boy.

Now many users of VR devices are also game lovers. Accumulating popularity among this group of people is likely to increase the follow-up income of the movie, just like selling Blu-ray DVDs of movies, VR movies can also be bought home and watched repeatedly with corresponding equipment.

Song Jingxing randomly chose the live broadcast room, and when he saw a pleasing anchor, he swiped Super Rocket. He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but drove the entire live broadcast website crazy.

Looking up, Yishui'er's anchor has changed the name of the live broadcast room: begging Young Master Song to turn over the sign!

The character design of the silly son of the landlord's family can stand up easily.
