Technological Hegemony

From 11:30 to 12:30, the whole hour of fireworks brought the festive atmosphere to its climax.

The children who had already fallen asleep got up from the bed one after another, came to the window, opened their mouths wide, and looked excitedly at the brilliant fireworks rising in the black night sky.

From the south to the north, from the East China Sea to the Western Regions, the environmentally friendly fireworks invented by Xingchen Technology not only light up the night sky, but also are very cheap. Many cities and towns in China choose to set off in the 30th night.

If you look down from space, you will see the magical scene of millions of flashlights shining on the ancient land of China. The light spots rise and fall on the earth like sea tides, which makes people suffer from density phobia. A magnificent spectacle.

While driving and watching the fireworks in the night sky, Luo Jia came to this movie theater in Songjiang University City.

The reason why I chose this place is nostalgic. I think Luo Jia went to school in Songjiang and watched movies with Jiang Lei and others in this theater several times.

They were a group of poor students who chose a cheap midnight show. It was early in the morning when they came out of the movie theater, and the school gate had already closed. Jiang Lei, a man from Inner Mongolia, jumped into the wall first. Luo Jia, Gao Feng, and Wang Tianwen were responsible for lifting Lu Qiu's big butt. Get her, Su Ping, Nie Xiaodou, and Jiang Weilan into the SISU campus one by one.

Thinking of the past, Luo Jia couldn't help laughing. It's good to take the girls over the wall. At least Luo Jia knows that Lu Qiu's muscles are very strong. No wonder Jiang Lei has always been afraid of girlfriends, and Nie Xiaodou has the softest figure , Su Ping's butt is more upturned, Jiang Weilan's body is flat, like a blue boy...

Luo Jia regretted it as soon as she got out of the elevator. How could she be alone when she came to the movie theater on the night of the New Year’s Eve? When Luo Jia appeared in the theater lobby, it was almost embarrassing. Among the crowd, there were quite a few young couples who came out for a date. He was so out of place among the happy crowd by himself.

"Happy New Year sir, it's a pleasure to serve you."

"Please give me a small popcorn, and a medium Coke, the sugar-free kind."

After Luo Jia picked up the ticket, he bought Coke and popcorn. The short-haired girl who sold the popcorn was very affectionate to him. Obviously Luo Jia wanted a small portion of popcorn, but when he got it, he got a big one.

Shouldn't you have taken a fancy to the young master?

Luo Jia thought happily. He recalled that when he was in school, there was a sister in the cafeteria who would always put a few extra pieces of meat in the canteen for herself. Regarding this, Jiang Lei and Gao Feng The animals have always been very envious.

"It's so pitiful. It's the New Year's Eve, and I went to the movies alone."

The short-haired girl suddenly turned around and muttered to her colleague, who nodded indifferently, "Maybe he is an orphan."

Puff~

Hearing these two whispered words, the Coke in his mouth could not help but spit out, Luo Jia only felt dizzy for a while, and hurriedly pushed away the crowd and ran into the bathroom.

Someone secretly smoked in the bathroom, opened a window, and the cold wind whizzed in, sweeping across Luo Jia's cheeks, as if he had heard that old song.

Rats want it, cockroaches want it, single dogs, nobody wants it...

Orphan your sister!

Luo Jia thought sadly and angrily in her heart.

Before long, however,

His attention was attracted by another matter. Through observation, Luo Jia found that among the five new films released at the same time, Let Go of the Witch seemed to have the lowest box office. From the youth idol movie starring Xiao Xianrou.

The real-time box office monitoring system showed that, as the Spring Festival approached, the box office of the other four movies kept going up all the way, all with an attendance rate of 80%. Only let go of the witch, the attendance rate barely remained at 50%.

Luo Jia was shocked. You must know that before tonight, the three-minute trailer of Letting Go of the Witch swept the world with an unstoppable momentum and won universal praise. Everyone agreed.

However, when it was time to pay for the tickets, the audience did not join in, making Luo Jia suddenly feel like being deceived by the people of the whole country. , Is it really necessary to go all the way to the dark on the road of no return from entertainment to death?

In a blink of an eye, Star Technology's internal forum exploded. The company's first movie was an adaptation of an online novel that nerds like. More than half of the colleagues chose to join in. Even colleagues who didn't go to the theater were all paying attention to Let go That Witch's box office and reviews.

"I figured it out. We straight men will never be able to handle those crazy fans. The cultural and entertainment industry is a small fresh meat. We have to stand aside."

"Hey, they all say that straight men have a problem with their aesthetics, is it true?"

"Originally, I didn't think there was a problem with my aesthetics, but after seeing the poor box office, I began to feel that there was something wrong with me."

"Where is the problem? The second-order book is pretty good, and our CG technology is also unrivaled in the world. Why can't we beat those traffic stars?"

"I don't know. Anyway, the attendance rate is only on the premiere day. I'm afraid our cultural career, which has just started, will be pilled sooner or later!"

The straight men of steel are also very wronged. When it comes to technology, they have absolute confidence. However, movies are not the strong point of this group of technical nerds.

Just when everyone felt the coldness in their hearts, Senior Qi Mengzhou, who had just become a mother, suddenly spoke.

"I'm really defeated by you stupid people. I don't even think about what day it is today. When it's Chinese New Year, the whole family ran to watch to let go of that witch. Only you straight men can do such a second-year move!"

"The name of the movie is a top two. If you don't know whether the movie is good or not, people will definitely choose a family movie first, followed by a comedy with a lot of fresh meat, and then Xiong Da and Xiong Er."

"I think back then, the Wandering Earth was like this at the beginning. It's the New Year's Eve, it's wandering, and it's the end of the earth. It's so unlucky. Even if Liu Cixin, the sci-fi god, is in charge, the Wandering Earth will inevitably be crippled by comedy movies."

"But then, a few days later, the Wandering Earth, with its excellent quality and smooth plot, completed the Jedi counter-attack, and then used the way of attacking people to smash those comedies starring idol stars to scum! Four in one fell swoop! 1.6 billion at the box office, ranking second in Chinese film history!"

"Everyone wants to be lucky during the Spring Festival. This is our tradition, so your movie with the second-best name will definitely suffer in the first two days, but these are not the key. The key depends on the later word-of-mouth. As long as the quality of the movie is excellent, You may also become the second wandering earth."

As the saying goes, one pregnancy is stupid for three years, but senior sister Qi Mengzhou seems to be an exception. Her thinking and language are still so sharp. .

There are old people in their sixties and seventies, and children in their seventies and eighties, time travel, magic, monsters, wars, enchanting witches, and a prince who leads a harem to start a business. These plots are quite violent when you think about it. In terms of the classification system, I am afraid that they will be classified as unsuitable for children.

Turning the mobile phone to silent, Luo Jia carried snacks and Coke, followed the flow of people into the screening room, found his seat and sat down.

Looking around, the audience is mostly young couples. Sure enough, as Senior Qi Mengzhou said, if the whole family comes to the cinema together, I am afraid that they will not choose to let go of that witch. Family comedy is their first choice.

"It's about to start, so excited!"

"After all, this is the pioneering work of Xingchen Technology, and it has historical significance!"

The otaku wearing glasses described it excitedly to his girlfriend. The girlfriend curled her lips, and when he was not paying attention, she muttered, "What, I wanted to see Peng Yuyan, but you forced me to see some kind of witch."

Luo Jia rubbed his chin with his fingers, perhaps only straight men know how to appreciate straight men, and only nerds and nerds can cherish each other. The fans of Xingchen Technology are actually quite second-guess.

Shua~

The lights in the projection hall suddenly dimmed, and as the famous rotating Galaxy logo of Star Technology appeared on the big screen, the long-awaited straight men cheered crazily, their girlfriends said haha ​​in boredom, pointing fingers on the phone screen point.

"Anna! It's Anna the Witch!"

"I'll go, she is so beautiful, much more beautiful than what is written in the book!"

"Nightingale's heroic appearance is also very beautiful!"

"Star Technology is worthy of being a technology group! It has restored the medieval castle so realistically. Look at the firelight of the candle and the shadows of those people. I can tell you that 3D modeling is not the most difficult, the most difficult light and shadow Simulation and rendering, every movement of the character, the light and shadow will change accordingly, and the hair and eyebrows will also float gently with the air!"

"Awesome! Star Technology is awesome!"

The screening hall was filled with the excited voices of straight men. The important thing was not that the voices were loud, but that they were very burning, the kind that exploded!

When the war started, when tens of thousands of sailing ships set sail, when monsters surrounded the city walls, and when the ancient ruins were slowly opened, the realistic pictures and details, and the high-speed switching shots, reminded every audience. heart, making them involuntarily exclaim.

With the development of film art to this day, countless genres and styles have already been formed. Shen Lang and the young geniuses of Xingchen University chose the simplest and rude one.

If you appreciate Tarantino's violent aesthetics and are surprised by Mad Max's fast-paced and non-pissing throughout, then you should like this movie.

Even Luo Jia was shocked. The geniuses combined simplicity and roughness with visual aesthetics to create an unprecedented visual and auditory feast.

From the first minute of the movie, there are climaxes, burning to bursting, and the whole process is full of blood!

Fuck the education!

If you count on movies to educate all living beings, what do you need the Ministry of Education for?

A movie is a movie, just burn it!

Fuck the wind, the wind, the snow and the moon!

I am lucky in this life, to go to a different world, to go around, not to fall in love!

Crazy is right!

Just turn the world upside down!

The mouth gradually opened and turned into an O shape. Luo Jia never dreamed that Shen Lang's gang of little fellows would come up with such a thing.
