Jing Tian heard that Zhang Ran was going to talk to him, so he quickly put the little girl into the cradle and sat down opposite Zhang Ran. Although she is Zhang Ran's apprentice, Zhang Ran doesn't care much about her, and she is completely free-range. Now that she suddenly heard that Zhang Ran was going to talk to herself, she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Zhang Ran saw that Jing Tian was sitting precariously, looking quite nervous, and chuckled: "Don't worry, I won't sell you to Africa." I've got a movie for you to play, what do you think?"

When Jing Tian heard this, he jumped up directly. She complained to Zhang Ran many times, Bai Ling and Yang Mi have all acted in your plays, but my apprentice has never acted in it. But Zhang Ran never gave her a chance. Now that Zhang Ran promised to let her act, she was naturally very excited. She pulled Zhang Ran's arm and shook it: "Master, don't lie to me!

"What am I lying to you for?" Zhang Ran smiled, asked Jing Tian to sit down, and then said seriously, "I made movies before, and I always prepared all the work and made it after I was confident." Even so, there are often reshoots during the filming. But this time it was going to be an experimental film, and the previous film language and techniques were almost unusable, and I was not sure at all. To make this film, I may be like Wong Kar-wai, on and off for several years. For example, if I think about how to shoot a certain scene, I will say, Jing Tian hurry up, we have to shoot a scene, and you have to rush over to film, can you do it?"

Jing Tian immediately said: "It can be done." As long as Master shouts, I will come over immediately, and I will be absolutely on call!"

Zhang Ran smiled when he heard this: "Actually, the reason why I asked you to play is because you are my apprentice, and you can call as you like." If other people stop making half of the movie, then I will have a headache. ”

Jing Tian knew that Zhang Ran was joking, filming his scene, who would dare to stop filming half of it! But she still said coquettishly: "Master, I thought you took a fancy to my acting skills!"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes: "Don't mention acting, among the students I have taught, your acting skills rank first from the bottom." He looked at Jing Tian and said, "I have contacted the actor training studio in the United States, and you will go to the United States for three months of training in two days." Performance training in the morning, physical training in the afternoon, every day. Remember, during these three months, you are not allowed to contact anyone, you are not allowed to make phone calls, you are not allowed to post on Weibo, in short, you are not allowed to cut off contact with everyone, just like the world evaporates. If there is any emergency, you can call me. If it's okay, don't even call me. Can you do it?"

In Jing Tian's view, it is not a big deal to conduct physical fitness and performance training, but it is a bit unacceptable that a person cannot access the Internet in a foreign country and cannot contact family and friends. She was puzzled, "Why?"

When Wong Kar-wai filmed "Springtime", he pulled the crew to distant Argentina. After tossing and turning for months, everyone wanted to go home, but Wong Kar-wai was very proud, because what he wanted was this feeling of wandering. Every night, Wong Kar-wai also asked the crew's photographer to go out for a stroll, specifying that he would not return until 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, and that he would either write a report or express his feelings when he returned, so that he could collect the personal experiences of these people in a foreign country. In the end, "Happy Spring" became an immortal classic.

The same is true for Zhang Ran to let Jing Tian go to the United States for training, because Jing Tian wants to play a girl who is lonely in her heart and has a particularly heavy sense of drift. Jing Tian's personality is a bit arrogant, and even heartless, making it difficult for her to play such a role, and it is difficult to play that sense of loneliness and wandering. The only way is to throw her into a foreign land and cut off all ties with everyone. In this case, even if she is very arrogant and heartless, she will feel lonely and can also experience the feeling of drifting.

It is false to let Jingtian go to the United States for acting training, but it is true to let her experience the state of the characters.

Zhang Ran definitely wouldn't say these things, and said foolishly: "Because this role is difficult to play, and the whole movie is in the first person, the camera will be on your back when shooting, and it is a long shot, which requires a lot of physical fitness." If you don't do special training for a period of time, you will definitely not be able to resist. ”

Jing Tian heard that the movie was in the first person and needed to carry the camera by himself, so he said curiously: "Master, what role am I playing?"

"In 4 or 50 years, the Internet will be particularly developed, and people will be able to upload their consciousness to the network. Many people who are not living well in reality feel that the Internet is the Garden of Eden to escape everything, so they upload their consciousness to the Internet. But this is an act that the government prohibits and is classified as a felony. In fact, the online world is not the Garden of Eden, but more cruel. Eighty percent of those who upload their consciousness are torn apart by the government's search program, 10 percent of their consciousness is broken down into packets of data, which becomes the food of cyber creatures, and 10 percent eventually become cyber creatures, wandering through the data, evading the government and the same kind, while sniffing and even luring those who have the intention of uploading, waiting for the opportunity to snatch the vacant body.

The girl you played was young and ignorant and uploaded her consciousness to the Internet. By the time she understood everything, her body had been stolen by someone else. So, she snatched the body of another uploaded consciousness girl and returned to the real world. Since her consciousness does not belong to her current body, there is a phenomenon of rejection, and she must take rejection medicine. What's even more painful is that she is not the owner of her current body, she can't face her physical parents, and she can't see her real parents. Therefore, she can only wander outside, while looking for clues to find her body. ”

After listening to the introduction, Jing Tian danced excitedly: "It sounds like the story of "The Matrix", it's so cool!"

Zhang Ran smiled: ""The Matrix" is cyberpunk, and this story is also cyberpunk, so it is naturally very similar. I won't say more, when you get to the United States, you have to get trained. ”

Jing Tian was like a soldier, his head held high, he saluted with a military salute, and said with a smile: "Yes, Master!"

Three days later, Jingtian left for Los Angeles to train at an actor training studio. It is a base for Hollywood stars to train and play, and Fan Binbin received training there for half a year a few years ago in order to star in "Edge of Tomorrow".

Because of the preparation of the movie, Zhang Ran's life has undergone some changes. He spends half of his time with his daughter every day, and the remaining half of his time thinks about how to make movies, and sometimes takes the main creator to the studio for test shooting to see how the effect is and whether his ideas can be realized.

VR movies are very different from ordinary movies in terms of production and presentation. In addition to the fact that it is more difficult to shoot, and the language of the film is mostly unusable and cannot be edited, there are various problems, such as how to guide the audience's gaze.

Traditional film perspectives are fixed, and you can only watch what the director tells you to watch. But VR is different, you can see anywhere you want. This poses a serious problem, as the audience looks around, it is likely that some important clues will be missed. For example, someone was killed, and before he died, he wrote a sentence in a notebook. Traditional movies give a close-up directly, and the audience knows what is in the notebook. But in VR movies you can't cut close-ups, and viewers are likely to miss this most important clue. In this case, the director has to direct the viewer's gaze and get them to look at the content on the notebook.

As a new film model, VR movies have a lot of difficulties to overcome and need to be explored a little bit, but eventually people will find a new way of telling stories. This is exactly what Zhang Ran wants, to create a new film language, to create a new film that is different from traditional films.

The time soon came to the end of March, Lin'an spring breeze rippling, peach blossoms bright, new willows like smoke. Every afternoon, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu will push their daughter out of the house to feel the spring of the flowery south of the Yangtze River. The little girl also likes spring very much, and when she goes outside, she looks around with black glass-like eyes. When she saw the pink petals on the tree, it was as if she had seen some treasure, waving her little hands and babbling in a language that no one understood, and she seemed very happy.

On this day, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu took their daughter out for an hour. The little girl was a little tired, so she leaned on her mother's warm arms and fell asleep. Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu felt that the time was about the same, and it was time to go back. They were walking back when Zhang Ran's phone rang. It was Wu Ruide who called. Zhang Ran answered the phone and said lazily: "Old Wu, is something wrong?"

Wu Ruide's voice was full of joy: "We have reached an acquisition agreement with EA to acquire EA at $35 per share, and the entire transaction is $10.5 billion. This transaction requires board approval, and we need to convene a board meeting as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Ran was a little surprised, it only took more than a month to reach an agreement, it seems that it is indeed as Hastings said, EA shareholders want to get rid of their shares, so they said: "This purchase price is much lower than expected." ”

Wu Ruide smiled: "On January 30, EA released its latest first-quarter financial report, with a total net revenue of $808 million and a net loss of 3.2 consecutive quarters. Following the earnings release, EA shares fell 7%. EA shareholders have a better view of the future and are interested in selling the company. Our proposed acquisition can be said to be in the hands of EA shareholders. There were few obstacles to the negotiations, and an agreement was quickly reached. ”

Post-acquisition integration of companies is often particularly difficult and is likely to trigger a wave of resignations. Game companies are different from other companies, where staff members from other companies resign and can be replaced. If a game company leaves a large number of game developers, the game may be doomed. If the acquisition of EA is followed by a large number of game developers leaving, the whole acquisition is meaningless.

Zhang Ran paid special attention to this and asked, "How are the employees of the company?"

"We've talked to EA's union, and the employees themselves are our users, watching our movies, going on Netflix, and shopping online at Pepsi. They know us well and know what kind of company we are. What's more important is that we have a detailed plan, our plan is attractive, and we have the Chinese market behind us, and the company's employees and unions are very supportive of this acquisition. ”

Zhang Ran nodded slightly: "Then let's convene the board of directors as soon as possible and settle the matter!"

Zhang Ran can be said to be true to his words on the board of directors, Zhang Ran has made a decision, and the board of directors naturally does not have any problems. On March 31, Century Summit and EA announced that Century Summit will acquire EA at a price of $35 per share, totaling about $10.5 billion, a 65% premium to EA's closing price, and the boards of directors of both companies have unanimously approved the transaction. Upon completion of the acquisition, EA will be delisted from NASDAQ and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Century Summit. Of course, the entire transaction will also need to be reviewed by the SEC, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the Foreign Investment Administration, and market regulators in countries such as the European Union and South Korea.

EA has had a hard time in the past two years, not only has its stock price fallen to the bottom, but it has also been rated as a bad company in the United States for two consecutive years, but the skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that EA still has popular games such as FIFA and Need for Speed. After the announcement of the peak of the century, it immediately became the headlines of major media around the world and caused heated discussions among many people.
