Dad Academy

PS: It's the end of the month, and I'm sending the war reporter Xiao Weiwei to ask for monthly tickets.

"My movie has started, how about yours?"

"It's just started too. I haven't encountered such a direct PK situation for a long time. Keep in touch at all times."

"Okay."

Zhan Dun replied to the message, and just as he was about to close the screen, he felt a pair of eyes staring at him. He looked down and saw the little reporter next to him looking at him seriously.

He thought he had disturbed the war reporter watching the movie, so he asked: "What's wrong? Did I disturb you?"

Xiao Weiwei nodded seriously, and then said: "The movie has started, don't play with your phone, Boss Zhang's movie is very good, be serious."

Zhan Dun laughed dumbly, but seeing that the little reporter didn't seem to be joking with him at all, he nodded and promised not to play with his phone.

However, he changed his mind and just promised to keep in touch with Lao Wu at all times to share his thoughts on the movie.

Also premiering today was the movie "Taotie", directed by the great director Sun Jianrong, and the investor was the Art Life Group that was preparing to invest in "The Matrix" before. However, due to the disagreement on the starring role and the pay, the two sides eventually parted ways and invested in the Sino-foreign co-production "Taotie", while Zhang Tan continued to promote the establishment of the "Matrix" project.

And at that time, the two sides directly scheduled the release date at the same time, clearly wanting to face each other to see who would have the last laugh.

Tonight, the premiere of "Taotie" was also released, but not in Pujiang, but in the capital, and the invited guests and the lineup were not inferior to Zhang Tan's.

Another colleague of Zhan Dun was invited to attend the premiere of "Taotie", and he came to the scene of "The Matrix". Both sides wanted to know the quality of the two movies, and couldn't wait until the end of the movie, but wanted to share information in time in the middle.

In fact, it was not just Zhan Dun and Lao Wu. In the media group they were in, it was very lively at the moment. Everyone was refreshing information and speaking very enthusiastically. The topic of discussion was "The Matrix" and "Taotie".

How long has it been since there was such a clear PK between the two, and in the film industry, this situation is too rare, but it is also exciting, isn't it?

Even many people in the industry think that this is very beneficial to the entire industry.

Zhan Dun thought while watching the big screen. The story of "The Matrix" took place in 1999. The protagonist Leo woke up from a dream and couldn't help but doubt the world. He felt that he couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality, so he went to the bar to relax. In the bar, he was told a series of inexplicable information, and the next day he saw the reality of the world. Someone told him that the world was virtualized by a machine. If he swallowed the blue pill, he would pretend that nothing had happened. If he swallowed the red pill, he would return to the real world.

For a science fiction film, this kind of beginning is nothing special. It is not old-fashioned, but it is not new.

Everyone looked at the big screen attentively and followed the protagonist into this science fiction world...

The light in the theater kept changing with the plot on the screen, flickering and illuminating everyone's focused expressions.

Unconsciously, everyone was immersed in the plot and put themselves in the protagonist.

Zhan Dun came back to his senses after feeling the vibration of his phone. Unknowingly, more than ten minutes had passed.

The message was sent by Lao Wu. The content was very concise. It said: The scene is grand and the colors are as bright as ever. What about you?

Zhan Dun thought for a while and wrote: Novel settings and genius ideas. Do you know the brain in the jar?

After sending it, he felt someone staring at him again. He knew without looking that it was the young war reporter named Xiao Weiwei. He quickly put away his phone and looked at Xiao Weiwei apologetically. Sure enough, he saw that the young reporter had a puffy face and was a little unhappy.

He quickly apologized: "My friend sent a message. I replied."

Xiao Weiwei snorted, didn't say anything, and continued to turn her head to look at the movie.

Zhan Dun also hurriedly looked at the movie. As the plot progressed, he was completely attracted.

After his message was sent, Lao Wu, who was far away at BJ's "Taotie", was stunned. Brain in a jar? I really haven't heard of it. He immediately used his mobile phone to search and found a lot of information about the "brain in a jar".

The so-called "brain in a jar" is a hypothesis proposed by a scientist in 1981: a person was operated on by an evil scientist, his brain was cut off from his body and placed in a jar containing nutrient solution to keep the brain alive, and information was transmitted to the brain through a computer to keep him in the illusion that everything was completely normal. For him, it seemed that people, objects, and the sky still existed, his own movements and body sensations could be input, and this brain could also be input or intercepted.

This hypothesis leads to a classic question: How can we be sure that our conscious experience is generated by the real physical world, rather than simulated by some external device?

After seeing this message, Lao Wu didn't understand what Lao Zhan meant by asking this question? He thought it must be related to "The Matrix", but he couldn't guess how it was related.

So he quickly replied to the message: I know, what?

It took a long time for Zhan Dun to remember that Lao Wu should reply to the message. He was immersed in the plot of the movie and didn't feel the vibration of the phone when the message came.

He saw the message that Lao Wu replied, and then typed quickly with both hands, writing: The world set in "The Matrix" is the application of such a genius concept as "brain in a vat". Specifically, it is not clear in a few words, and we will talk later.

Not only can it not be explained in a few words, but there is also an important reason that he feels that the young reporter next to him is staring at him again, and he can even hear the heavy breathing of the little guy, probably because he is angry.

The young reporter is really going to be angry.

He quickly put away his mobile phone, and then said to Xiao Weiwei: "This is really the last time, I will never look at my mobile phone again, I promise."

Xiao Weiwei snorted and ignored him. Now colleagues not only plagiarize other people's news, but also are not professional at all, playing with mobile phones during work! Too disrespectful to Boss Zhang! She even wanted to report to Xiaobai.

Zhan Dun immediately asked again: "But it's okay for me to use the computer? I want to write news while watching movies."

Xiao Weiwei nodded and said yes.

This is almost right, being a reporter should be more serious and serious.

Zhan Dun said thank you, opened his laptop, and started typing on the document.

Many people around him were like him, typing on the keyboard while watching the movie. At the same time, he logged into the chat software on his computer and sent a message to Lao Wu: "The Matrix" has a big appetite. If the quality level does not drop in the future, as long as it maintains the current level, then Zhang Tan not only wants the box office, but also wants to shoot a milestone in Chinese science fiction.

Thinking of this, he thought about it, changed China to the world, and then continued to type: This movie incorporates many religious elements and philosophical viewpoints, giving it a unique spiritual connotation. I think, even after another 30 years, this movie will still be fresh.
