"It's actually Penguin Film and Television. When did Lao Ma support us so much?"

Xu Lei looked at the familiar company name and blurted out this sentence subconsciously. He obviously did not expect that Penguin Film and Television would choose to cooperate with the virtual theater when major theater chains issued a joint statement.

In Xu Lei's opinion.

You don't need to pay attention to the joint statements of major theater chains. Only companies that take the route of major online movies.

Although the quality of online movies is uneven compared to big-screen movies, it is still better than nothing.

What's more, with the support of the holographic screen, it can achieve effects far beyond the quality of the movie itself, which can at least ensure the normal operation of the virtual theater.

Otherwise, there will be no movies to play when the virtual cinema is launched, and it will probably be forgotten by users in a short time.

Even if there are film sources by then, it will be difficult to regain today’s popularity.

However, Penguin Pictures is also considered a big company in China, even better than Ali Pictures.

But under such circumstances, it does seem very strange that they made such an incomprehensible decision.

And after Xu Lei roughly checked the actor information of the two movies of Penguin Film and Television, he found that the participants were all well-known actors in the entertainment industry, and the subject matter and type were also very good. If they were released normally in cinemas, they would win A billion box office shouldn't be a problem.

Now Penguin has chosen to use this billion to board the warship of future technology. If you think about it carefully, you will know that it has another purpose.

At this moment, Zhang Xia, who was next to me, quickly added: "What Penguin Films did is indeed quite abnormal. When I contacted their person in charge, it was hard to believe that there could be something wrong with it." Trap Mr. Xu?”

It is true that Xu Lei proposed the virtual cinema project, but Zhang Xia is basically in charge.

Now that the project is on the right track, she doesn't want to be completely disrupted by this strange operation of Penguin Film and Television.

Faced with Zhang Xia's question, Xu Lei did not deliberately show off, and immediately expressed his opinion to Zhang Xia.

"If my guess is correct, Penguin's move should be to further bind us."

"So that their games can also be put on the holographic terminal."

Xu Lei is very aware of Penguin's current situation. Ever since players learned that games can have stronger effects through holographic screens, they have basically lost interest in traditional games.

To face this change, there is no other solution except to make our own games available on holographic terminals like Glory.

Otherwise, it can only gradually go downhill and eventually be eliminated by the market.

If Penguin relies solely on these two movies to make its own game New Era available on futuristic holographic terminal equipment, it will definitely be a very cost-effective deal.

Hearing this, Zhang Xia suddenly realized.

"So that's it."

But soon she seemed to have thought of something again and couldn't help but ask.

"Then Mr. Xu, do we want Penguin Games to launch holographic intelligent quantum terminals?"

"of course not."

Xu Lei shook his head and said.

"Having Penguin's New Era come online to our holographic terminal won't create a competitor for Guanghui. I'm afraid that guy Fang Yuan will be the first to object."

As soon as he finished speaking, he added something more.

"However, soon after Jia Zhongjie solves the problem of the holographic screen component production line, Huawei and Xiaomi will launch their own holographic screen computer products, and traditional games will naturally be upgraded by then."

After saying this, Xu Lei's mind started to work quickly.

It's like making a decision.

Not long after.

I saw Xu Lei's eyes were firm, he smiled and muttered secretly: "It seems that Lao Ma did make the right choice this time."

Finished.

He immediately turned his attention to Zhang Xia and ordered: "We also issued a statement that the virtual cinema will not launch Ali Pictures' movies from today."

Ali Pictures previously refused to cooperate, and now they have prompted theaters to issue a joint statement. Faced with this kind of behavior, Future Technology will definitely take action.

Since Ali Pictures doesn’t like virtual cinema, it might as well never think about cooperating with it.

Xu Lei believed that the other party must have regrets sometimes.

Xu Lei initially proposed the virtual theater project, mainly to promote the sales of holographic smart quantum terminals.

But now he has made a new decision, which is to completely replace offline cinemas with virtual cinemas.

Times are developing, science and technology are advancing, and more advanced and convenient lifestyles are destined to replace the original model. This is a necessary stage for the development of human civilization.

The outside world has questioned whether virtual cinemas mean that the user base is limited and cannot support the box office. Then let virtual cinemas appear on Warwick and Xiaomi’s holographic screen products.

When holographic screen devices become as common as smartphones, offline cinemas will completely lose their advantage.

Zhang Xia naturally didn't know Xu Lei's true thoughts at this time, but she was happy to take action against Ali Pictures.

After hearing this order, there was almost no hesitation and he responded immediately.

"It's Mr. Xu, I'll do it right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the office.

…

Perhaps it was the performance of Ali Pictures these two times that made Zhang Xia feel very unhappy, so she issued a statement on the official account not long after leaving the president's office.

In a few hundred words, the summary is that Virtual Cinema will never cooperate with Ali Pictures from now on.

Since the theater chain and Future Technology have issued separate statements, there is a strong smell of gunpowder no matter how you look at it, and there is a sense of outright competition.

Of course, this matter is not over yet.

Shortly after Future Technology released its statement, Virtual Cinema began promoting the two movies from Penguin Film and Television.

This can be said to be a big surprise to many netizens.

No one expected that Penguin Pictures, the leading company in the domestic film and television industry, would quietly join the virtual cinema camp and even confront Ali Pictures.

Such a rare scene can be said to satisfy the greedy mentality of netizens.

In just half an hour, relevant content dominated the screens on major website platforms. Everyone was discussing the competition between virtual cinemas and offline cinemas, and speculating on who would be the final winner.

"When did penguins get so close to future technology? I still hope they were as proud as before."

"It can only be said that Lao Ma is a smart man. Penguin is different from Ali. Its games occupy such a large share of the group. If it wants to develop stably, it can only rely on future technology."

"It is now impossible to see movies produced by Ali Pictures in virtual cinemas. Speaking of which, there are a few movies that I am quite looking forward to."

“It’s understandable that Ah Xiang wants to maintain the stability of the offline cinema industry, but I don’t know if traditional cinema chains will still exist in the future.”

"No way, you really think virtual cinemas can replace traditional offline cinemas, stop joking."

"Let's take a look at the box office data of Death on Mars released by the official account of Virtual Cinema. No matter how popular it is, it can't be compared to the theaters."

"It can only be said that the holographic terminal of Future Technology is a high-end product, and the price is destined to not be accessible to the general public."

"Watching movies in a virtual theater is so cool, and I strongly support virtual theaters replacing movie theaters."

…

He Jianwei, the head of Ali Pictures, has naturally seen the many comments on the Internet, but he himself sneered at the statements about future technology.

Didn't take it to heart at all.

After all, he had no intention of cooperating with virtual cinema.

So it doesn't matter if you are blacklisted or not.

But Penguin Film and Television's approach made him confused, and he didn't know what kind of operation Ma Teng was doing.

He does not think that Ma Teng, as the chairman of Penguin Group, will not be able to see clearly the situation of virtual cinemas. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a waste of resources to release movies on which he has invested hundreds of millions of dollars.

But the other party just did this.

For this reason, he posted a post on his social account to ridicule Penguin Films' actions.

As a result, he happened to be caught by Penguin's people.

So both accounts posted taunts to each other, and neither one was willing to admit defeat.

Netizens watched it with gusto.

It's as exciting as a movie.

After this incident ended, the Internet temporarily returned to its previous calm.

Virtual cinemas have begun to put the negotiated film sources online in batches, because with the increase in the number of users of holographic terminal devices, the previous box office results created by Death on Mars are constantly being broken.

Although this result is still incomparable with traditional theater chains, it is still on the rise.

On the other hand, except for Ali's few films that are about to be released, there are not even one that can hit theaters.

Even most box office results are not as good as online movies released in virtual theaters.

This has led many small and medium-sized film and television companies to gradually invest in virtual cinemas. Even many overseas films have been negotiated by virtual cinemas. Compared with the situation when there was only one movie, it is really close to replacing offline cinemas. Feel.

It is also worth mentioning that during this period, with the support of Glory Games and virtual theaters, the sales volume of holographic smart quantum terminals has also increased.

Basically, it will officially reach 10 million units.

At the same time, the influence of the exhibition stand in the Science and Technology Museum will soon approach one million points.

It means that new exhibits will be unlocked soon.

Just when Xu Lei was fully expecting his influence to exceed one million points, Jia Zhongjie suddenly brought him good news.

——

Tuesday, August 13th.

Binjiang City.

Longhu High-tech Park.

After Jia Zhongjie, who was full of joy, walked into Xu Lei's office, he couldn't wait to report before he even got close.

"Mr. Xu."

"What you asked me to do is basically completed."

"I have set up a base in Binjiang City that specializes in the production of holographic screen components, and Professor Hu and the others have also completed the assembly of the smart production line."

“It can now be mass-produced at any time.”

When Xu Lei heard the news, he immediately stopped what he was doing, raised his eyes and praised without hesitation: "That's great. I didn't expect to solve the problem of the production base so quickly. Then it's time for us to take action."
