Chapter 341: First Arrival in Silicon Valley
There are other industries in this open valley, but the most famous thing is the more than 300 special film makers scattered throughout it. xββ
Because most of the props used in these films are silicone products, the San Fernando Valley is also known as the "Silicone Valley".
And there are more silicon ingredients in people here than in other places, and it is actually very reliable to call Silicon Valley, for example, the murderous woman on the side of the road completely ignored Tang Jiayi in the passenger seat, holding a pair of big balls on her chest with both hands, and scratched her head at Atletico Madrid, but Boss Ma, as the owner of a well-known silicone products company, recognized at a glance that her pair of murderous objects were just fake milk filled with a lot of silicone, and she was not interested at allγ
Silica gel is a common name for a colloidal substance containing silicon elements, but in daily life, it usually refers to silicone rubber, a silicon-containing polymer organic substance containing carbon-silicon bonds. Because of its stable chemical properties, soft and elastic, non-toxic and harmless, and good physiological affinity, it is widely used in the field of medical materials, such as artificial blood vessels, breast augmentation prostheses, artificial skin, and various biomimetic toys.
Because a large number of medical silicone materials need to be used on various intelligent interactive toys under Dabaojian, the R&D team has collected a large number of existing silicone materials on the market for comparative analysis, hoping to develop and improve a better exclusive formula, so Ma Jing, who has seen the R&D information and report, just glanced at it and judged that the woman must have a lot of silicone prostheses stuffed on her body.
When it was far away, Tang Jiayi turned her head, "Ma Cheap, have you seen it?
Thinking of the woman who was left behind by the two of them, Ma Jing pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Look at what she does?" her skin is rough, her skin is full of golden hair, and she is tanned, her skeleton is thick, her eyebrows, cheekbones, and jaws are protruding, she looks like a man, and the most important thing is that her pair of balls are round like balloons, and there are no signs of sagging, and they are fake milk at first glance, what is there to look at!"
Hearing his words, Tang Jiayi's good-looking eyebrows relaxed, and then she picked up her mobile phone and searched, she vaguely felt that she seemed to have heard the name here.
She has long found that as long as she is around Atletico Madrid, she will not worry about finding the wifi signal, which is just like a humanoid self-propelled wireless router, although she does not know the specific principle, but it does not affect her mobile phone to search for information anytime and anywhere.
So soon her eyebrows furrowed, according to the introduction on the Internet, the most famous here is undoubtedly all kinds of B Lu efilm, and then many people come here every month every year, some are boring people who come here to visit and travel to get a glimpse of the secrets of production, and some are simply to become famous and become stars who lie down and make money.
However, after reading the introduction to Fernando Valley with a critical spirit, and paying to watch a documentary about this place with Atletico's vest credit card, Tang Jiayi's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and instead urged Atletico to take her to see the actual filming scene.
Although Bai Fumei, who is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars, is too fast, whether it is Atletico Madrid or Tang Jiayi herself, like those upstarts in the technology circle in Silicon Valley, they still retain the living habits and values of many ordinary people, and their interest in the production process of "blue films" is far greater than collecting famous watches, famous bags, and famous wines and taking them out to show off with others.
The production of "Blue Film", in Tang Jiayi's imagination, should be like the joke "no funds, no loans, bring your own equipment to engage in production, no occupation, no house, just one bed for work", there is a bed or a mattress or even a blanket on the ground to start filming. But in fact, she thought badly, the team size of the regular army is still very large, in addition to the two leading actors, there are also a number of substitute actors, in order to edit and switch, several photographers must be prepared at the same time to control the camera for multi-angle shooting, and they also have to prepare lighting and recording engineers for them, plus makeup, props and other logistics personnel, and the most important director, so the number of people who appear on the shooting site is not much less than that of other film crews.
Therefore, after being taken to a studio by Atletico Madrid, Tang Jiayi saw the bustling scene of nearly a dozen people huddled together with their backs to them to watch the center of the venue, and was speechless for a while, but grabbed Atletico Madrid's left hand and pinched it.
Although sometimes there are old and yellow married women laughing at themselves, Tang Jiayi has obviously not switched to the "aunt" mode in terms of mentality, where she can discuss the length and thickness of black and white time without any scruples, so after hearing a burst of magic sounds in the studio, she was frightened by these wild voices, and stood in place without moving.
So in the end, because of her retreat, Atletico had to apologize to the bearded man who received them and hastily ended the visit.
However, what almost made Atletico's jaw drop was that after leaving the studio, away from those rhythmic magic sounds and curious foreigners, Tang Jiayi's interest seemed to have returned, and whispered, "It turns out that the expressions of those actresses are fake!"
Although it was only a glimpse, the impactful image in front of the camera was still deeply imprinted in her mind, even if the Blu-ray HD she had watched on TV before could not be compared. And what impressed her the most was the professionalism and acting skills of the actors and actresses, the "blue film" shooting also rarely used long shots to the end, and the shooting process was not much different from other action movies. And those actors and actresses will also "enter the state" immediately after every A hit the board, and there is no shortage of excited voices with expressions of enjoyment, but they are all fake.
As for the reason why the director uses short shots, on the one hand, it is to facilitate editing, and various close-ups can be added at any time, and on the other hand, it is also to extend the time, so that the actors and actresses can rest for a while to recover their strength and replenish water, etc., thinking of this, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch Atletico Madrid, but the hand is still as elastic and resilient as an eraser, which made her immediately let go of her fingers in disappointment.
"What's wrong with you?" Atletico stared at the side of the road and didn't look back at her.
This rented Ford Mustang Roadster is not the car he uses in China, without exception it is equipped with an automatic driving system, even if two people put down their seats and roll to the back to play with the car shock, it doesn't matter, at this moment driving a strange car in a strange country and a strange street, he is still quite nervous.
Tang Jiayi also quickly discovered his abnormality and couldn't help laughing.
It's also interesting to say, in the past, on the car without CC, Atletico's expression and behavior were very, very focused, which is also a feature of Atletico Madrid. Although it is necessary to concentrate when driving to avoid being distracted and too late to deal with unexpected situations, veteran drivers will also tell novices that they do not need to concentrate too much, which will consume too much energy and easily lead to fatigue, and it is easy to have accidents in the second half of the year.
However, the problem of preoccupation that can easily lead to fatigue has never appeared in Atletico Madrid, this guy is always energetic and never tired, but he has never had an accident in five years of driving, even if he touches the porcelain party, he has not been able to get a piece of paint, even if he is forced to lie down and roll over, he will be sent to prison by the dash cam.
Of course, Tang Jiayi also has zero accidents for five years, but she also knows that the premise of her zero accident is zero driving, she rarely drove herself when she was in school, and when she graduated, she started to drive herself, and Atletico Madrid developed a CC automatic driving system, and then said that she was driving but just sitting in the driver's seat to show the traffic police or other drivers.
Similarly, since the CC system was installed in the car, Atletico Madrid has rarely shown such a nervous and serious attitude, and it is quite cordial and joyful to see it now.
This smile also made Tang Jiayi's faint complaining emotion just now gone.
Just now she suddenly got angry and reached out to pinch Atletico Madrid, but it was because she suddenly found that she had been deceived by Ma Cheap for four whole years, this guy was directly on the computer The length of the video on the computer was more than an hour with her analysis, and the average man was more than an hour, and less than half an hour was either unhappy or sick, but she was embarrassed to discuss this private issue with others, and she believed it stupidly. It wasn't until today that she watched the filming process of the American blue film with her own eyes, and she realized that a real man was completely nonsense for an hour, so she immediately used the directional strike tactics of the soft flesh on her waist to vent her anger, but unfortunately someone's skin is still as thick as ever.
After recognizing the reality, Tang Jiayi took out her mobile phone from the pouch and checked the map, but this time the direction of the car was towards the real Silicon Valley.
In fact, Silicon Valley and the domestic university industrial park is one nature, Stanford University, which was established by Mr. Stanford, the railway king, has a huge campus of more than 3,000 hectares and nearly 50,000 acres, and in the fifties of the last century, it began to set up an industrial park on 1,000 acres (6,000 acres) on campus, and leased it to alumni companies and other start-up companies at a low price. More and more start-ups choose to join the Stanford Industrial Park, even if they settle outside the school, and this area has gradually formed a world-famous high-tech industry cluster, because the main industry direction is IT technology, and the latter is inseparable from the relationship between silicon semiconductors, which is also known as Silicon Valley.
One of the ten richest people of the Gilded Age (from Mark Twain's novel of the same name), Amassali Stanford was elected the first governor of California in 1861 and represented California in the Northern League in the Civil War that year. As a reward for the team's success, Stanford operated the Pacific Railroad Act, which was supposed to be built by Stanford's Central Pacific Railroad (CP) and Union Pacific Railroad (UP) in the west.
Because there was wasteland along the route, the White House and Capitol Hill at that time granted the two railroad companies 122 meters of public land along the line for free, as well as a "welfare" that could buy 32 kilometers at a low price, in accordance with international practice. In this way, the side that repairs quickly can occupy more free and low-cost land, and both companies are trying to speed up the construction by any means, and the simplest and most crude way is naturally the tactic of crowds or even human lives.
On the other side of the Atlantic, the UP recruited a large number of Irish laborers who had fled the sea because of the "Great Irish Famine of 1845", and these people were not treated well by the British, and when they arrived in the United States, they could only work in the lowest-end industries, but the low-wage Mr. Stanford set his sights on the big green fruit across the Pacific.
At that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was coming to an end, Daqingguo sold a large number of bandits and criminals who did not shave their heads to the United States, and 15,000 people joined the CP railway construction site, and most of them died in the poor working conditions when the railway was opened in 1869.
"Even if a few survived to the end of the project, they didn't have a good life, and the Ku Klux Klan rose up immediately. After all, San Francisco is not really a gold mountain, and if your country doesn't want to mix well in a foreign country, although it is not impossible, the chances will obviously be much less!"
"Is this how Boss Ma feels when you stand on the Stanford campus? Do you want to be so popular? Do you need me to write it down for you and hand it to the newspaper?"
"Hee-hee, forget it," Atletico put his arm around her, "It's better to keep a little distance from the nutrient-rich chlorella." β
Because it was almost afternoon, the two of them just turned around a little near the gate of Stanford University and took a few photos, it is not easy to walk around the tens of thousands of acres of campus, after all, there are nearly 20 Luda headquarters as big as that, in fact, it is already a special small city.
Although there were not many Asian American students and employees at Stanford and Silicon Valley, the Atletico couple who took a group photo in front of the iconic buildings were still like fireflies in the night, which attracted many people's back attention.
Not only because of this pair of handsome men and beautiful women, not only because they seem young but have not much student demeanor, but also because of the two special mobile phones in their hands.
"I'm sorry, but is your phone a bee aqua?"
A blonde boy with a lot of freckles on his face hesitated for a moment, but finally walked up a few steps and asked.
Tang Jiayi stabbed Atletico Madrid with some amusement: Others recognized the phone, but they didn't recognize you, the publisher.
Atletico Madrid was speechless and helpless, it is said that foreigners have face blindness to Asians, just like Asians have face blindness to Africans, and the young man in front of him seems to be face blind.
Seeing Atletico nodding in acknowledgement, the freckled boy said Can I take a look at it, Atletico handed the phone to the other party, and gently poked Tang Jiayi: It seems that your charm is still not enough, my wife http://m.piaotian.net!
