Chapter 0330 - A Foodie Who Hides Deeply
Chapter 0330 A Foodie Who Hides Deeply
When the first performance was over, Mr. Gates wanted to ask James McKinsey what he thought of this epoch-making film, but James McKinsey preemptively demanded that he watch it again.
Mr. Gates had to show it to James McKinsey again, but after watching it a second time, James McKinsey still didn't think it was enjoyable enough, so he watched it a third time, and it wasn't until the end of this screening that James McKinsey's excitement dropped slightly.
James McKinsey grabbed Mr. Gates and began to talk to Mr. Gates about the greatness and shortcomings of the film. Mr. Gates was able to keep up with James McKinsey at first, but he soon found himself a little out of his mind.
Mr. Gates just likes Journey to the West in general, although he can tell a thing or two about most of the stories, but he doesn't pay so much attention to the details. In contrast, James McKinsey is a long-time fan, he knows the entire story of Journey to the West well, and even examines some of the details, and the whole book of Journey to the West is even more backwards, and the two are not fans of the same level at all.
Mr. Gates interrupted the topic of James McKinsey and offered to introduce someone to James McKinsey, who is not only a die-hard fan of Journey to the West, but also the producer of this movie, and a great scientific research worker, who is among the world's leading in many fields.
James McKinsey was confused, when would a scientist become the producer of a movie about gods and demons? But this question can not be delved into, he can't wait to find someone to share his opinion on the movie Journey to the West, if this person is the producer of the movie Journey to the West, then it is the best thing.
Seeing that James McKinsey agreed, Mr. Gates breathed a sigh of relief, he finally fulfilled his promise to Gu Yu, and waited for the opportunity to introduce Gu Yu to James McKinsey. He asked James McKinsey to wait a while, left the private theater first, went outside, and invited Gu Yu in.
When James McKinsey saw Gu Yu for the first time, he felt very familiar, as if he had seen Gu Yu somewhere, but at this time, most of his body and mind were on the movie Journey to the West, and he didn't care about studying Gu Yu's identity, and after shaking hands with Gu Yu, he pulled Gu Yu to sit together and began to discuss with James McKinsey.
Gu Yu knows very well the truth that if he has to discuss the issue of the Del Ford Foundation with James McKinsey at this time, he will not be at ease, and James McKinsey's emotions are there, and if he does not let this senator vent his emotions, it is very likely that he will turn into anger, not only will the situation not get better, but it is also very likely that he will treat the Del Ford Foundation more harshly, which will make things worse.
Therefore, Gu Yu pretended to be patient and began to listen to James McKinsey's opinion on the film. First of all, James McKinsey is a foreigner, how much can he know about Journey to the West, and can it be compared to a Chinese person's understanding of Journey to the West? McKinsey is just a senator, can he be better than a fully automated hologram production and delivery system?
What Gu Yu didn't expect was that after just listening to James McKinsey's words for a few minutes, Gu Yu's expression gradually became serious, not to mention that James McKinsey was able to be elected to the Senate, and held a certain position in the Senate, responsible for a mess of work, and his personal ability is really inadequate, just from his suggestions for some details in the Journey to the West movie, it can be seen that this person is simply a genius.
The technological advancement of the automatic holographic image production and delivery system is undoubted, and its degree of intelligence is also extremely high, but it has an obvious problem, that is, the treatment of some places is too blunt, so that some parts of the film seem very cold and lack human breath. The other is the soundtrack, when Gu Yu made this film, his reputation was limited, so the soundtrack or something could be saved, but in this way, the whole film was less atmospheric, and in Hollywood blockbusters, the rendering of the atmosphere by music is very important, and it is also an important part of the film.
It can be said that if this movie could have scored 100 points, when it lacked the support of music, it could score 85 points, which can be regarded as burning high incense.
James McKinsey's other comments on the film focus on the styling, and that's where the wise see the difference. Gu Yu didn't pay much attention to most of the suggestions in this regard, but a few of them still made Gu Yu feel that there was still room for improvement if he revised them according to James McKinsey's suggestions.
James McKinsey's last suggestion is the lip shape of the film's characters. The English version is shown in a private theater, and the lip sync and dubbing obviously don't match, which will give the viewer a sense of detachment, and it would be even more perfect if the lip sync and lines match.
After reading it, James McKinsey looked at Gu Yu with blank eyes, waiting for Gu Yu to give an evaluation of his comments.
Gu Yu nodded cautiously, and then sent an invitation to James McKinsey, who he planned to ask James McKinsey to be one of the consultants in the Journey to the West series of movies. The specific point is that when the film is filmed and the preliminary draft is finalized, James McKinsey is invited to watch it first, and then James McKinsey is invited to give his opinions, adopt some of the constructive suggestions, and make changes to the content of the film.
In addition, Gu Yu also told James McKinsey that he would make necessary changes to the movie Journey to the West according to some of James McKinsey's proposals just now, and strive to make it more perfect. In addition, it is to let the movie Journey to the West be released as soon as possible, so as to give people all over the world a visual and spiritual feast.
James McKinsey didn't expect Gu Yu to attach so much importance to his opinion, and agreed almost without much consideration. He smiled and stretched out his hand, holding Gu Yu's hand, which was regarded as agreeing to Gu Yu's invitation.
The two became acquainted, and then, Mr. Gates reappeared, this time bringing Thomson Jason and Del Ford with him, and when the two appeared together, James McKinsey immediately remembered who Gu Yu was.
Gu Yu cleared his throat and solemnly introduced himself to James McKinsey again. When he said that he was the second largest individual shareholder of the Del Ford Foundation, James McKinsey could only smile wryly. And a very important one is that Gu Yu personally intervened in this matter, for the new richest man in the world, if he is perfunctory like everyone else, it will be too disrespectful, and will be interpreted by some people as disrespect for world-class scientists, billionaires and even Huaxia.
James McKinsey raised a finger, and instead of hiding his opinion, he asked Gu Yu a very clear question, which is also the reason why he has been holding on to the question of the Del Ford Foundation.
The question is simple: what do Gu Yu and Del Ford think of the organization "Science Reigns Everything"?
This problem is also the problem that Del Ford once mentioned to Gu Yu, that is, James McKinsey has always maintained a sympathetic attitude towards the organization "Science Reigns Everything", believing that many members of the organization "Science Dominates Everything" are great scientists and have a very large and positive role in promoting the scientific and technological progress of society.
The main reason why James McKinsey did not let go of the Del Ford Foundation's problems was to use this method to put pressure on Gu Yu and let Gu Yu put a yard on the organization of "science rules everything".
Gu Yu's expression became serious, he did not directly say that James McKinsey's idea was wrong, but explained to James McKinsey in detail some information about the organization "Science Dominates Everything" that he had mastered, and especially pointed out that the organization "Science Dominates Everything" likes to collect the blood, hair, and other biological specimens of various celebrities, waiting for an opportunity to carry out experiments on cloning people, and then using the cloned people to form a very realistic and severe challenge to the existing social order, which has a precedent.
For example, N's prime minister, and the speaker of the parliament who met in JND killed the real speaker of the parliament one or two decades in advance, and then the clone lived for more than ten years as the speaker of the parliament, if it wasn't for Gu Yu, the organization of "science rules everything" started his shadow, maybe he would have lived with this identity until he died, and no one would know that the real speaker of the parliament had died.
In addition to these, Gu Yu also took out some of the materials he had found from the base of the organization "Science Reigns Everything", of course, these were all photo files of the original materials, not real originals, even so, when James McKinsey saw these materials, his face changed greatly.
This is a list of targets that Science Dominates is going to clone, not to mention James McKinsey, even Mr. Gates.
Mr. Gates was also discolored when he saw this list, although the clone and the prototype are biologically identical, but from the sociological and ethical perspectives, they are two completely different people, and the thought of having such a biologically identical person is likely to kill the original self at any time, waiting to replace him, whether it is Mr. Gates or James McKinsey, they shudder.
Neither of them is afraid of death, but they are afraid of dying in a daze, letting someone else take their place, sleeping with their wives, spending their own money, and beating their own children, this kind of thing is extremely terrifying just thinking about it.
Before he could say anything, Mr. Gates stood up excitedly, saying that he wanted to personally write a personal letter to the president, vice president, secretary of state, and speakers of the Senate and House of Representatives in country M, and also to unite some other billionaires and celebrities in country M to jointly promote the legislation of country M to "rule everything by science" This organization has been completely banned, and it is absolutely impossible to allow country M to become a happy land for the organization "science rules everything".
James McKinsey immediately said that he would echo Mr. Gates's appeal in public, and at this time he would no longer mention the idea of opening up to the organization "Science Reigns Everything", but directly apologized to Gu Yu and Del Ford, and said that he would immediately go back to the Senate and prepare to withdraw the investigation of the Del Ford Foundation and return all legal assets of the Del Ford Foundation as soon as possible.
Del Ford was naturally overjoyed, since the foundation was shut down, he didn't think about tea and food in the past few months, people have lost a few pounds, he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, he is about to become Xianglin's sister-in-law, but there has been no progress. Unexpectedly, Gu Yu only came to country M for two days, and only met with James McKinsey, which made the stubborn James McKinsey retract his prejudices.
Gu Yu smiled and stopped James McKinsey, who was about to go back immediately, since they were all here, why should they have a meal before leaving. Of course, the meals and everything are provided by Mr. Gates, but the wine and tea or something, so naturally Mr. Gates can no longer be bothered, and he has to be responsible for it himself.
Gu Yu came over this time, but he pulled a suitcase over, and all the things in it were liquor, red wine, tea and mineral water that he bought from the system store.
It's not the first time that Mr. Gates, Del Ford, and Thomson Jason have drunk these drinks brought out by Gu Yu, but James McKinsey is the first time to be an out-and-out guest, don't look at the fact that he often comes to Mr. Gates as a guest, and Mr. Gates has also auctioned some red wine and white wine from Gu Yu, but Mr. Gates and his own family are not enough to drink, how can they take it out to entertain him.
James McKinsey was deeply impressed by the sweetness of red wine, the softness and spiciness, the crispness of mineral water, and the aroma of tea. He is very self-disciplined, and he has always been very self-controlled in his diet, but when he really tasted these drinks, he realized that he didn't care about food, he was actually a very hidden foodie, and only this top-notch food could expose his foodie attributes, and he couldn't hide it.
Not only James McKinsey, but even Thomson Jason, Del Ford, and Mr. Gates all let go of their bellies, rushed to eat and drink the drinks brought by Gu Yu, and disdained the valuable delicacies provided by Mr. Gates. They are not bad for money, the food provided to them by Mr. Gates, they can also get it, only Gu Yu's drinks, which are good things that money can't get, this time Gu Yu didn't spare the cost, let them eat and drink openly, they didn't hurry up, eat enough, so they called ghosts.
In the end, James McKinsey, Del Ford, and Thomson Jason were all drunk, and even Mr. Gates was half drunk and half awake, and only Gu Yu was completely awake.
Mr. Gates's wife appeared at this time, and she called the butler very elegantly and decently to arrange a room for the drunk James McKinsey and others, and even Gu Yu arranged a room for him.
Gu Yu accepted Mrs. Gates' kindness, but in order to avoid suspicion, he did not take this opportunity to wander around Mr. Gates's manor, but under the pretext of being a little dizzy, he came to the guest room arranged for him by Mrs. Gates, and as soon as the door was closed, he hid inside.
Of course, Gu Yu couldn't sleep at this time, he still had something very important to do, that is, he had to find a way to earn some prestige. In order to make the first movie of Journey to the West, he wiped out all the prestige he had, and now his prestige has reached a period of stagflation, although there is still a steady stream of prestige every day, but the prestige value that can be collected every day is more than 10,000 yuan, which is not enough for anything.
Gu Yu's private space is full of materials, even if he lacks prestige for a while, there is nothing, but now he is used to holding hundreds of millions of prestige in his hands, and now it has fallen to five figures, how can he think about it and feel that it is not practical enough.
And to strengthen the connection with James McKinsey, a senior senator, the Journey to the West movie is definitely the only link, if Gu Yu wants to wedge a nail in country M in the future, James McKinsey is definitely the best candidate. If this line is to be maintained, it is natural to get the Journey to the West series of movies out, and it has to be done well, which is inseparable from a lot of prestige.
Gu Yu scratched his head a little, he really couldn't find a good way to get a lot of prestige in a short period of time for a while, and then make a few video games, it's not impossible, the problem is that it takes time for the game to go public, and the length of this time is not something that Gu Yu can control, wait until the game is listed, and then after publicity, let the people know that they will contribute prestige to him, then I don't know when.
