"Wait a minute, stop the car!"

The car had just driven onto the road, and before it could speed up, Tang Jiayi opened her mouth to stop???? ．?

Looking around at the crowd, she asked, "Who has the cash? I need some dollars!"

There was someone on the side of the road who was setting up a stall to sell, and she planned to go over to support it, but she was afraid that people would not accept euros and Swiss francs, so she planned to find someone else to borrow some American knives.

Atletico raised his eyebrows, took out his wallet and took out a few 50-denomination euros, and handed them to Pan Yicong next to him, "The euro should be fine, let the shallots go!"

The second half of the sentence was said to his wife beside him, Tang Jiayi hesitated and agreed to the other party's arrangement, opened the hand clip, grabbed out a stack of banknotes and stuffed it into the assistant's hand, and instructed: "Spend it all, don't give us any leftovers!"

Pan Yicong nodded, took the banknotes and stood up, stepped out of the business car, and ran towards the roadside stall.

Seeing that his wife's eyes were always staring outside, paying attention to the assistant's actions, Atletico said quippingly: "What's the matter?

"you!" Tang Jiayi turned around and gave him a blank look, "I'm looking at their payment methods." Domestic beggars have already used QR codes to beg, and foreigners are still stuck in cash transactions, and they are too stubborn to forge ahead. ”

"That's not a handicap to hold onto, it's completely a pot where the demand is not strong and the opponent is too strong, the checks and credit cards here are too convenient, and the demand for mobile phone payment is not as strong as in China, so it can't develop naturally. However, it is indeed a mistake for them not to open a QR code to receive money, otherwise they will definitely catch a big fish today. ”

"Where are the big fish?"

"Aren't you?"

It didn't take long for Pan Yicong to complete the purchase and return to the car with a large handful of knitted scarves.

The car restarted, Tang Jiayi got up and pulled over one, flipping it up and down.

Although the scarf feels average, not as comfortable and warm as her own cashmere gloves, she still grasps it in her hand and looks at it carefully, without a little disgust.

Noticing his wife's expression, Atletico touched his hand and said with a smile: "It's a little hard, it should be a blended thread, and it is also a woven product, it should not be hand-woven by a refugee girl, it is not worth the price at all." ”

"What do you know? This thing sells the above two words, color, style, warmth and so on, and you can't ask for too much. ”

Tang Jiayi retorted casually, hung the scarf around her neck, and flattened the two words on it, "refugees" on her left chest and "ele" on her right breast, and then looked at Atletico Madrid.

Without words, the latter nodded knowingly, and when he found his phone, it was a triple click.

Living together for so long, Atletico Madrid has long figured out Tang Jiayi's preferences and aesthetics, the angles, compositions, and timing of the three photos are just right, and the follow-up color retouching is even more handy, no more, no less.

He is familiar with the road, but Tang Jiayi, who received the photo, was entangled, and it took several minutes to find the favorite photo and send it to social networks.

"Hey, what's there to worry about? A tweet, a Facebook, a scarf, isn't it just right?"

Throwing the other party a contemptuous look of "What do you know?", Tang Jiayi turned her face away from him, and sorted out the scarves scattered on the seat with Pan Yicong.

Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, is a well-known large city in the western region, so it is favored by the Federation as a refugee settlement, and some refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Somalia live here. The organisers said that all proceeds from the sale will be donated to the refugee community to improve living and education.

The ban that caused an uproar actually had two meanings: a "90-day entry ban" for citizens of seven peaceful countries, and a moratorium on the admission of refugees and fuller background checks, the cancellation of the Syrian refugee resettlement program, and the reduction of the number of other refugees planned to be accepted to 50,000.

Although many people emigrate under the banner of refugees, migrants and refugees are not the same thing. In order to increase the employment opportunities of its own people, the government did not hesitate to withdraw from the TPP, and now it has imposed a seven-country ban, and it is likely that the next step will be to continue to tighten the immigration policy. Silicon Valley companies reacted strongly to the new policy because they were worried that the policy would tighten and they would not be able to recruit the right talent.

Silicon Valley's collective action, although the "ban on Muslims" has become the target of public criticism, but it has also led to a crooked topic, making the same injured refugees even more hurt, and various refugee rights organizations will naturally not sit idly by, which is why today's charity sale is here.

Atletico Madrid are naturally very appreciative of this kind of charity activity, and it would be better if they could unite and become a combative organization like "no-one-is-illegal". The latter is an immigrant rights organization active in Canada, which strongly opposes the government's tightening of refugee policies, often plays against immigration authorities, and is even denounced as a "terrorist organization" by the officials involved.

Sweeping his gaze over the pile of scarves, Atletico spoke again: "Buy so much at once, what to do with it below?

"Isn't this simple?" Tang Jiayi kept in her hand and replied casually: "I look like there are a lot of them, but there are not many of them." When you get to the place, send one to the Bee Shadow team, and it will be dispersed soon. ”

Atletico rolled his eyes, "It's a waste to give it to them, or I'll help you solve it!"

"Oh, so what's your trick?"

"It's not a good move, it's just a maximal use. ”

Saying this, Atletico raised his mobile phone, took Tang Jiayi, who was sorting out the scarf, into the camera, sorted it out slightly, and put the photo on the overseas version of the scarf, and attached a sentence.

"Dear, do you think this will work?" handed the phone to his wife, Atletico asked in a doggy manner.

Glancing at the screen casually, Tang Jiayi pushed away the obstructive mobile phone, "You have already sent it out, is it useful if I say no?"

"Hehe, we're husband and wife, how can you say no?"

Tang Jiayi turned around and looked at him deeply: "You are just idle!"

It is indeed idle, at this time the Atletico couple is still on vacation, this trip to North America, is to quietly think about it, come to participate in the closing ceremony of the Sundance Film Festival, by the way to see the effect of their products, and then condolences to the employees who have to travel for the New Year.

Atletico's approach is not unusual, but it is just the usual way to reply to the raffle, and these "welcome refugees" scarves are the predetermined prizes.

Of course, there are differences, users who can participate in the reply lottery are limited to Park City, and when he arrives later, the prize will be distributed in person.

Pretending not to hear his wife's accusations, Atletico said to himself: "It's a bit cold during this time, and these scarves will definitely be welcome." ”

Park City, a small city 30 minutes east of Salt Lake City, is home to the Sundance Film Festival, a prestigious independent film festival.

While chatting, the motorteam of Atletico Madrid and his party finally arrived at their destination and slowly drove into a small snow-covered mountain town, which was Park City.

On both sides of the road are brick buildings, with thick and heavy lines with a strong "western flavor". The mountains around the city are lined with white slopes on which sporadic skiers can be seen.

The temperature has been a bit low in recent days, and you can't see many pedestrians on the streets, but if you walk into the street movie theater, you see a different scene. In the past, independent filmmakers would have chosen to show their films outdoors, but now they have moved into more professional and comfortable cinemas. This is a good thing for the audience, but not necessarily for the filmmakers, better facilities mean higher rents, and if the film doesn't sell, it will lose even more.

Not to mention that there is still competition, as more and more big film companies appear at Sundance, the entry threshold for the film festival is constantly rising, there are more than 20,000 films registered for the competition unit, but only more than 100 can be screened in the end, and a considerable number of them have large company backgrounds. Even if you can't enter the competition section, powerful companies can rent a space to screen their own films, and they can also let their films be seen.

The fate of bees and Sundance is actually not shallow, first Bee Film and Television came here to choose cheap literary films and niche movies, and later Bee Pictures also sent their own movies here, borrowing treasures for promotion, and this year it brought a group of VR films led by "Who Will Drive the Earth?" to participate in the "New Frontier" unit of the film festival.

Different from the previous supercomputing real-time rendering version,Bee Shadow this time"Who" is the official VR video,It is also matched with a professional-level VR+ Cinema broadcast platform,The playback effect is a few streets away from consumer-level products,All kinds of mobile phone boxes are incomparable。

Bees' first-mover advantage in the VR field is really unshakable, and those films that do not support VR+ have been crushed by their strength, and they have all become cannon fodder, and even the other three major platforms have been looked down upon by users, and their sales have suffered another setback.

In fact, since Bee Mirage opened the "roadshow mode" and sent a large number of roadshow vehicles for people to experience on the spot, their days have been worse day by day, the results of the Christmas shopping season are far lower than expected, and the weakest vive has even shown signs of exhaustion. Correspondingly, after a round of promotion, the popularity of Bee VR has increased significantly, giving Bee Fantasy the idea of quickly launching the next round of publicity.

Atletico Madrid had a satisfied smile on his face when he was led into the cinema by the bee film production staff, and saw the spectators with glasses swaying from side to side and screaming, apparently immersed in it.

Let people find a free screening room, a group of several people find a place to sit down, also put on glasses, after a short buffer wait, a thrilling high-altitude picture appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

For cost considerations, the Bee VR+ projection system adopts a broadcast mode similar to that of a TV system, with the playback host being a TV station, broadcasting video signals internally through a high-speed LAN, and finally receiving and playing by a specially encrypted dreamwalker headset. As long as the place can be stuffed, it can increase the number of viewers indefinitely, and the only drawback is that it does not support video on demand, and can only be broadcast there like TV.

What is currently being shown is a short film called "Roller Coaster Rescue".

VR films are characterized by free perspectives and immersive experiences, but they also have the problem of being too free to start. Placing the viewer in a small room and a walking vehicle can better guide the user's attention, and at the same time save shooting costs, which is popular with many VR directors.

The audience plays the role of a tourist who experiences a roller coaster project, stranded in the air with several other supporting characters, and can only helplessly wait for rescue. When Atletico Madrid entered, the plot of the protagonist rolling around in a roller coaster had passed, and the roller coaster they were riding was stuck on the inside of the top of the ring track due to a malfunction, and they could only hang upside down and wait for rescue below.

Hanging upside down at a height of dozens of meters, you can see the ambulances and fire trucks roaring on the ground with a slight tilt of your head, but you can't see the movements of the people on the ground clearly, let alone hear what they say, people will easily fall into a desperate predicament, and no one can calm down and stay on it and wait for rescue. Someone seemed to be frightened into a nervous disorder, and actually wanted to open the safety bar on his chest to release himself, although his reckless act failed because the seat belt was locked, but it still made people sweat for him. And more people are screaming one after another, as if they are in a screaming competition.

Immediately afterward, they got the bad news that the ground restart failed and they needed to wait for rescuers to come over for on-site repairs. A special operations elite and a mechanic got off the helicopter one after another, hung themselves on the rails with a safety rope, and rubbed them over little by little, intending to repair the broken roller coaster on the spot.

Finally, of course, there is the happy ending, where the roller coaster restarts and sends the crowd back to the ground.

Although none of them died or were injured, the thrill of this short film is no less than the plasma spills of blood and severed limbs. Human beings, as terrestrial creatures, have a fear of the void in their bones, and this short film starts from this to comprehensively strengthen the psychology of "fear of heights".

At the end of the film, taking off the headset according to the prompts, Tang Jiayi turned her head to look at Atletico Madrid, "What if someone is afraid of heights?"

Atletico Madrid didn't care and said: "If you commit it, you will commit it, fear of heights is actually nothing, most people have symptoms of fear of heights, at most they are scared to dizziness, nausea, no appetite, and there is no danger to their lives." As for those viewers with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, we also have prepared an emergency team, and there have been no accidents in the past few days. ”

Tang Jiayi quickly grasped the key point and opened her mouth to ask: "In other words, something is still wrong?"

"I was just stunned a few, but I quickly woke up when I moved outside, which is basically not a thing. ”

In terms of horror and thriller films, scaring people into scaring people into accidents is actually a compliment, so Atletico Madrid is actually quite sorry when he said this, and the recovery ability of those guys is too good, if they can lie down and go to the hospital all the time, their short film will be known to the world in one fell swoop.
