Wang Zijun introduced Kux and Evan to Zhang Anle, and after a while of greetings, Zhang Anle called several engineers from the company. (Novel.com!. Among these technicians is Ronald Wayne, who has quit Apple.

Everyone gathered in a conference room, Wang Zijun first took out the schematic diagram he had drawn, pointed to the last few and said: "The shape of these devices is designed and manufactured by us, and you only need to install electronic components and wiring in them." Although these are all fake props, they are still a must-have for functions such as emitting electronic light sources and simple controllable operation. ”

"No problem, leave it to me." Ronald. Wayne laughed. He understood what Wang Zijun meant, that is, the two special effects personnel brought by Wang Zijun were responsible for making the toys, and he was responsible for making these toys look like the real thing.

Wang Zijun stayed with these people, and it took two weeks to make a few mobile phones and laptops that could emit light and sound. Moreover, the shells of these props, after being polished by hand, have a streamlined body with a metallic texture, which looks more fashionable than the electronic products of later generations.

Wang Zijun picked up a sliding mobile phone, and with a slight shake of his hand, the mobile phone opened very naturally, and the soft light on the keyboard of the mobile phone emitted a pleasant sound.

Then I moved a laptop, the monitor is made of transparent plastic, and the desktop displayed is a fixed picture, which is actually a miniature light box.

As for shooting, you can only make the content that appears on the monitor by hand, then record it, and play it on a special TV, and immediately switch the lens to achieve the effect.

In addition, Evan and Cooks are responsible for making large props, such as various equipment in the operating room for face changing. After it was made, Wayne and others added the electronic circuit.

During the production of the props, Lazim called and said that the casting work had been completed, all kinds of sponsorships had been completed, and Ke Shouliang's team and Chen Guanshui's explosives had been prepared. Deborah also contacted the California police department, and Air California promised to borrow the runway for free, but they did not provide the plane, and Wang Zijun needed to rent the plane himself, and the Air California logo must appear in the film.

Wang Zijun, who learned of the situation, left Cooks and others, who were still making props, back to California, and took several main actors to familiarize themselves with firearms.

At the same time, Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Heping, who were far away in Hong Kong and Taiwan, were summoned by Wang Zijun with two phone calls, and they needed to be responsible for the fight scenes of the film.

The preparation for making a blockbuster is far more cumbersome than making a small-budget movie, and at the end of June, Wang Zijun has no sign of starting the film, but the list of Oscar nominees for this year has been released.

Due to some problems within the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, this year's Oscars have been postponed by more than three months compared to last year, which has made Hollywood filmmakers and fans a little uncomfortable.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and a certain Golden Globe Awards in later generations was directly suspended because of a strike.

The list of nominees came down, and "Star Wars", which only won one Best Music at the Golden Globes a few months ago, was once again eye-catching, with a total of 9 nominations including Best Director and Best Picture.

Spielberg's "Contact of the Third Kind" came in second with a total of eight nominations, including Best Director.

Compared with them, Wang Zijun's "The Shawshank Redemption" is much inferior, only winning 7 nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Music.

7 nominations is not too many, and the ballet "Turning Point" took 8 nominations, which is on par with "Contact of the Third Kind". And "Goodbye Girl", which was in the limelight in the Golden Globe Award song and dance films, only had 4 nominations at the Oscars this time. …,

Compared with the Golden Globes, which focus more on the arts, the nomination criteria for the Oscars are obviously closer to commercial and social influence, and moral opinion must be taken into account.

In a word, films that can be nominated for an Oscar are good, but in the end, if they want to win awards, especially awards, then the film must conform to the main theme. This main theme is not patriotism and love for the party, but the so-called American spirit of family, freedom, democracy, struggle, humanitarianism, etc.

Before the vote began, Frank was busy, spending a lot of money to lobby companies to build momentum for "The Shawshank Redemption." The money was not spent in vain, and the ability to get 7 nominations has nothing to do with the operation of the lobbying company. But even with seven nominations, Frank isn't much sure.

Last time, Wang Zijun's "Ghost Love" was the favorite to win the Oscars, but initially it only won the Best Actress and Best Special Visual Effects awards.

Entering July, Wang Zijun is still busy preparing for the new film, and the Oscar award ceremony will be held on July 3.

Two days before the Oscars, the American Electronics Show was held in Las Vegas.

The latest electronics from major companies across the United States are about to be unveiled here, and there are also small companies and individuals who come here with their products and inventions.

Countless sellers and electronics enthusiasts came here a few days in advance, and as soon as the doors of the exhibition hall opened, the crowds poured in under the lens of reporters.

…………

Greer is a reporter for the famous American scientific magazine "Popular Electronics", and the news that MITS is Wang Zijun's industry was exposed by him.

It's also his job to come here today, which is to look for some novelties at the fair.

Carrying a backpack and a camera around his neck, Greer swam from booth to booth, his eyes like a lion looking for a prey.

At this time, the cameras were still film, and they were not as happy as the reporters of later generations, so they could take this digital camera at will and go back to screen the photos that were satisfactory.

Today's reporters can't waste every negative, and they must ensure that every shutter can capture the picture they want, which is also the most basic requirement of being a photographer.

From household appliances such as televisions and refrigerators, to gadgets such as calculators and hair dryers, and in the past, industrial machinery such as welding machines.

Greer walked back and forth for half an hour, but nothing piqued his interest.

Soon entering the exhibition area of cutting-edge electronic products such as computers and game consoles, Greer looked at several IBM and Intel products, began to take out his camera to take pictures, and asked the staff behind the booth some questions, and then moved on.

Paradise Technology?

Greer looked at the name and thought it was probably a small company that had just been formed.

There were already a few people gathered in front of the booth, and Greer squeezed inside, and several personal computers on the booth quickly caught his attention, one of which he recognized as the former "Altair" of MITS, but with a slight change in appearance.

This is an infringement, Greer thought.

"This is our latest product from Paradise Technology." The staff of Paradise Technology Company is enthusiastically introducing, "This 'Altair A1' is an improved version of the original 'Altair', not only ......"

Before the staff could finish speaking, a man in front of the booth said, "Isn't 'Altair' a product of MITS?" Do you have any license from Paradise Technology? ”

"Sir, MITS changed its registered name a week ago, and now there is no company called MITS in the United States, only Paradise Technology." The staff said.

"You're saying you're MITS?" Greer squeezed in and asked in surprise.

"Yes, MITS has changed its name to Paradise Technologies." Said the staff. …,

There was a guy in front of the booth who was obviously Henry. Roberts's admirer immediately shouted: "I know, it must be that Chinese who made the ghost." Not only did he force Roberts away and snatch control of MITS, but now he is ready to wipe out the last trace of Roberts left in MITS! Damn Chinese, go back to Asia, he doesn't understand what a personal computer is! ”

There were a total of five staff members behind the Paradise Technology booth, one of whom was a veteran employee who followed Roberts first. And he happens to be Wang Zijun's supporter.

Hearing someone insult Wang Zijun like this, the German-American named Maddox defended: "No, sir, I think you are a little mistaken. The MITS company was Zachary from start to finish. Wang's private property, as early as four years ago, the MITS company was facing bankruptcy due to Mr. Roberts's poor management, and my boss Wang had already injected capital, and at that time he owned 60% of the company's shares. It can be said that if it were not for Wang's capital injection at a critical time, the MITS company would have collapsed long ago, and there would have been no later 'Altair' ......"

Maddox had no scruples about telling the secrets he knew, even though he was following Henry. Roberts worked with the old staff, but to Henry. Roberts didn't have the slightest favor. Even last year, because of management disputes, he was swept away by Roberts, and not long ago he was personally invited back by the newly appointed Zhang Anle.

Most of the people gathered in front of the booth were computer enthusiasts from all over the United States. Roberts had a bit of a guide in their hearts. At this time, when I heard Maddox say it, it immediately caused an uproar, and many people thought that Maddox was lying.

Maddox, who was in charge of the Paradise Tech booth today, felt the need to clarify something, saying, "As far as I know, the first 'Altair' was made by Mr. Roberts, but it was inspired by Mr. Wang. Mr. Roberts said this in an interview with Popular Electronics, and I can attest to the truth of what he said. ”

Greer then raised his hand and said, "I can prove it, because it was Roberts I interviewed." ”

"You're Mr. Greer?" There are computer enthusiasts who shout.

"Yes, I'm Greer." Greer laughed.

"Hello, Mr. Greer, I'm your loyal reader, can you sign me?"

"Mr. Greer, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I have a different opinion on the idea you came up with last time about the personal computer......

"Mr. Greer, I'm Jason from Jason Sales in Georgia. Raphael ......"

Greer's fame among these people was apparently great, and as soon as they heard that he was coming, many people's attention shifted to Greer.

It took several minutes for Greer to reassure the men before finally asking, "Sir, can you tell me more about Paradise Technology?" ”

Without much gossip, Maddox began to introduce the two new models of personal computers launched by the company.

After learning about some of the situation, Greer felt that he couldn't get enough of it, and decided to go to the so-called Paradise Technology Company next year to interview their new company managers.

Greer then moved on to the video game section.

The most eye-catching thing here is the promotional board of the video game giant Atari, but to Greer's surprise, there were not many people in front of the Atari booth.

Everyone crowded to the booth on the other side.

Gerrier was keenly aware that he might have encountered big news, and walked to the outskirts of the crowd, and asked a teenager, "Hello, can you tell me anything interesting in there?" ”

"It's a game console......," the white boy said, and kept patting the man in front of him on the back, "Hell, Jack, get out of the way, you're blocking me." ”…,

Game?

Greer couldn't imagine what kind of game console actually stole the limelight from the video game giant Atari.

"Sir, where do you get the consoles of your Paradise Video Games Company?" Greer vaguely heard someone in the crowd asking.

"It's officially available tomorrow. In the past, our consoles were sold in stores that sold MITS 'Altair' computers. ”

"Sir, I'm a dealer in Ohio, can I represent your console?"

"Absolutely. Ollie, you come and talk to this gentleman. ”

Greer faintly heard the name of Paradise Video Games outside, and then heard MITS, and his mind moved, and he immediately connected the Paradise Technology Company he had just encountered.

But what exactly is their connection?

In an interview with Angela in France, Wang Zijun revealed that one of his video game companies will launch the most advanced video game console. However, this news was not taken seriously in that interview, and it was unlikely to reach the United States.

It took Greer more than ten minutes, squeezing in little by little. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I saw several color TVs in front of the booth, each of which was connected to a game console similar to a computer keyboard.

In the front of these consoles, there is also a strange plastic box inserted, and several young people are playing games with very small controllers.

"Our home console has the smoothest gaming speed of any home console out there, and it has eight colors to display. Let's look at it again, its keyboard-style design can carry out some simple text input and number calculation, so that you can feel the charm of a personal computer without spending a lot of money.

And the design of this game card, there are two or three games in each game card, so you never have to worry about getting tired of playing the games on your console. Because you can buy new game cards and change them to new games at any time. It can be said that this game console, even if it is played for ten years, as long as new games are constantly being produced, then it will never become obsolete. This means that you buy one of our consoles and can use it until it doesn't work, and in the meantime, you can always play the latest and greatest games from Paradise Video Games.

Not only that, but let's take a look at our game controllers. Have you ever seen such a small, human-shaped handle? It allows you to react very quickly to the game, even if you play for a day, without getting tired at all...... Such a world's most advanced and convenient game console is also paired with several classic and fun games that we at Paradise Games have worked hard to play. If you buy more than two at a time, we will give you a free game card, and if you buy more than five at a time, we will give you three game cards......"

Greer's ears were filled with the voice of the Paradise Video Games commentator, and with that sound, he began to pay attention to the various parts of the console.

I have to say that just that small gamepad is enough to make video game lovers spurn the video game console of Atari.

What's more, the games that are being shown now are so interesting.

There were a total of six game consoles on the booth, and the lucky ones waiting in line tried out the games there, and everyone didn't want to get up as soon as they sat down. However, everyone has a time limit to try the game, either choose to play for 10 minutes, or choose the person in the game gameover!

Greer kept taking pictures with his camera, and after thinking about it, the corners of his mouth curled, and he squeezed out of the crowd to take a few pictures of the crowded Atari booth opposite.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Greer was finally able to get his hands on the home console, playing a game called Contra, which had just been developed by Paradise Video Games. …,

Greer sits down at the same time as another lucky winner, and one of them controls one of the game's characters.

After a few plays, Greer died of a mistake due to just contact, and a second person immediately came out.

"Hey, uncle, go pick up that bullet!" Greer's game partner said.

"What bullet?" Greer asked.

"That F character, see? You jump over and touch it! Said the partner.

"Okay." After greeting finished speaking, the game character jumped over and landed right on the flashing "f".

"Brush ......" When Greer pressed the bullet again, he sent out a bullet that spun into an "S" shape.

"Oh, that's great! You can knock out that cannon even if you're lying on your stomach! Greer said happily that a middle-aged man with a bloated belly was as excited as a teenager because of the change in bullets.

When the boss of the first level is defeated, Greer cheers and raises his hand to celebrate with his game partner.

As time flies through the game, Greer feels that time is up in the blink of an eye, and he has to give up his place to the next one.

"Hello, are you the person in charge here?" Greer found the staff member who had introduced the console earlier.

"Yes, my name is Savin." The man smiled and shook Greer's hand.

"Hello, Savin, I'm Greer, a reporter for Popular Electronics. Can we talk? Greer said.

Saven smiled, "Of course. ”

"Your consoles are amazing," Greer said. ”

Saven said, "Thank you for agreeing. ”

"Are these consoles and games developed by you independently?" Greer asked.

"Of course, we've been doing a few years of research and development, and we've only had one Super Mario enter the arcade market before that. ”

"Oh, I remember, Super Mario was actually made by you." Greer sighed.

"Yes, we also have a game card ported to home consoles for Super Mario, but everyone in the scene wants to play a new game, so you didn't see it," Savin said. Mario fans will be able to sit at home and play Plumber in the future. ”

"That's amazing." "May I take the liberty of asking, what does it have to do with your Paradise Video Games Company, the Paradise Technology Company that makes personal computers?" ”

"Of course it does." Saven smiled, "The name of the two companies is Zachary. The king took it. ”

"Oh God, are you saying that the boss of both companies is the Chinese?" Greer was surprised.

"Of course. Wang is a genius, and he proposed the design of the controller and body of our home game console, and he also participated in the planning of several games. Saven said.

"It's unbelievable." Greer was dumbfounded.

Greer was obviously shocked, and because he was a well-known magazine reporter, Greer gave him a game console when he left.

Back at home, Greer decided to put aside the shock that Wang Zijun brought him first, and play a game first.

Greer was given a total of four game cards, he chose his favorite Contra, and after only playing for a while, his 15-year-old son went home.

"Daddy, what are you doing?" Son Casey heard the sound of the game and came over.

"I'm playing a game console." Greer said.

"Wow, what kind of game is this, it's exciting!" Casey's eyes straightened as she looked at the game screen.

"This is 'Contra.', the story of two American GIs bravely breaking into the enemy camp." Greer laughed, "Sit down and play together." ”

Casey and his dad started playing together, and father and son yelled as they played. It wasn't until after the person died that Casey scolded the shit, saw a few game cards on the table, and asked "Are those all games?" ”…,

"Yes, this kind of game console can be exchanged for games by changing game cards." Greer Dao.

Casey's father, a reporter for a science magazine, had studied these things since he was a child, saying, "Is it really a genius design, a new product from Atari?" ”

"No, it's Paradise Video Games, the one that developed Super Mario." Greer laughed, "You'll never guess who the owner of this company is?" ”

Casey asked, "Who is it?" Could it be a giant who left Intel? ”

"No," Greer said, "it's the Chinese who is in the limelight." ”

"Chinese?" Casey jumped up, "You mean the king?" ”

"Yes." Greer nodded.

Casey was pleasantly surprised, "King is so cool, he's a superman, nothing can stump him." ”

Greer asked, "Are you a fan of his?" ”

"Of course, I love his songs, his novels, his films, and, of course, his consoles." Casey laughed.

Greer spread his hands and said, "How did I not know this? ”

"Of course you don't know, you only care about your magazine and the electronic market," Casey said. ”

"Well, I was negligent. You play first, I'm going to write the script. Greer got up and went back to his room.

After thinking for a while, Greer wrote down a title - "The Next Occupied Zone in the Hands of the Chinese":

"The first time I heard about Zachary. The king's name is because of him and Audrey. Hepburn's scandal. The reaction at the time, oh that damn guy, what a lucky bastard! Then, on my wedding anniversary, I was pulled into the movie theater by my wife to watch the movie called "The Ghost Is Not Over". My wife used a whole pack of tissues to wipe her tears, and I have to say, this is a movie that makes a woman's IQ drop. After reading it, my wife always asks me: Do you love me? Death.

Well, I'm not a film critic, and I'm not here to talk about movies today. I would say that since that movie, Zachary. The name Wang often appears in the sight. In the three fields of film, music and novels, this young Chinese gentleman has made great achievements, especially in the past few months, the Golden Globe Award has also fallen in his hands. I heard that this year's Oscars, the film of the Chinese director received 7 nominations, oh, it's amazing.

Whether it's a novel or a movie, it's far away from me, I'm an e-magazine reporter and I rarely pay attention to anything else. But just over two months ago, I learned from Henry. Mr. Roberts heard the name of this Chinese gentleman again. Roberts told me that 'Altair' was the inspiration given to him by the Chinese, the famous MITS company, and Zachley. Wang's company.

My feeling at the time was, shock, except shock or shock. It feels like a director who hears that MGM's boss is Chinese.

At today's National Electronics Fair, I once again saw Chinese friends.

Atari created the video game market, and it's a well-deserved video game giant. Today, I was surprised to find that there were only a few people in front of the Atari booth, and all of them were attracted by the booth of a company called Paradise Video Games.

Yes, the owner of this company is Zachary. King. They showcased an unprecedented home console, a lightweight, practical gamepad, a genius card design, and a fun game that all video game lovers couldn't want to leave......

I dare to say that the video game market will become another battlefield captured by the Chinese after movies and novels! ”

Popular Electronics was widely circulated, and as soon as the article about the personal computer 'Altair' was published, thousands of computer enthusiasts came to visit it. …,

When Greer's article came out, it also attracted many readers, who speculated about what kind of game console made Greer so gaffe.

However, they soon discovered that in the major electronics stores in the United States, a strange game console appeared in the most prominent position.

Paradise Video Games quickly conquered the American video game market, which was dominated by the video game giant Atari, Inc., at a devastating speed. In less than a month, 9,000 units of this home console were sold, and it was sought after by countless video game fans.

And the sales volume of several consoles of Atari ......

"What? You say we've only sold 24 home consoles this month? Bushnell yelled at the company.

"Yes, boss, only 24 units were sold."

There was silence in the room.

"Boss, this is the Paradise video game company's console." Bob. Brown took out the console, placed it on the conference table, and said, "I have to admit, it got ahead of us." This game card slot design, as well as this keyboard design, we have been developing it last month, but it is still in the testing stage, and it will take at least three months to actually put it on the market. I admire the engineers at Paradise very much, they think exactly like us, but three months faster than us. ”

Bushnell suddenly calmed down, frowned and asked, "Bob, do you think it's possible that they copied us?" ”

Bob. Brown's face turned ugly, and Bushnell was asking if it was possible that members of the R&D team had revealed their R&D plans.

"It's not possible." Bob. "I can guarantee that my subordinates will not betray the interests of the company." In addition, they are three months ahead of us, which is enough to show that there is no plagiarism. In addition, the improvement of this gamepad has been very successful, at least we are completely unaware of it in this regard. I inquired, and they have already applied for a patent for this kind of handle. If we want to do it, we have to give them royalties. ”

"Hell!" Bushnell was so angry that he wanted to smash the table, but he somehow ran out of a competitor and beat them so that they had no power to resist.

Unlike Atari, which was in mourning, Paradise Games was jubilant.

The frenzied sale of game consoles has made far more profits than Paradise Technology sells computers. Moreover, with the hot sales of the market, orders are flying like snowflakes. The factories on the other side of the bay can't produce overtime.

Three months, just three months ahead of Atari, is enough to turn the market upside down.

The American magazine "Electronic Science" said of the Paradise game machine: "This is a video game revolution. A few years ago, Bushnell brought video games into American life, creating a maturing video game market. But today, the advent of the Paradise game console has forced Atari into a corner, and the design of the game card slot has extended the life of the home game console, so that it can truly enter every home. ”

And the media is more concerned about the owner of Paradise Video Games, the amazing Chinese.

Was he really "God's favorite" as his name suggests? Otherwise, how can you get ahead of others and achieve one achievement after another!

That guy just won the Oscars!

Fast forward to the third day of the National Electronics Fair, when the 50th Academy Awards took place at the Chinese Cinema in Hollywood.

In July, it was a bit hot, and the awards ceremony, which was more than three months late, still attracted countless movie lovers in the United States, and media reporters were very busy.

And the directors and stars are dressed up one by one, showing the most beautiful side in front of the camera. …,

At this time, the national electronics exhibition in Las Vegas, which lasted for several days, had not yet ended, and most people did not know about Wang Zijun's achievements in the field of electronics.

But this can't be a reason for everyone to ignore Wang Zijun.

When Wang Zijun appeared with his team, he suddenly became the object of countless shots.

Wang Zijun waved his hand to greet the fans on the periphery, but he was extremely depressed. He's been making props in New Mexico these days, and he came back yesterday to receive the Oscars.

But when I returned home, I was given a cold reception again.

Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao have been here for more than half a month, and the relationship between the two has eased a little, but they usually don't speak, just like strangers living under the same roof.

Yesterday, Wang Zijun came home and bought some small toys that made the two little ones extremely happy, hanging his neck and screaming "Dad, Dad".

But as soon as Lin Qingxia appeared, the scene suddenly cooled down.

Lin Fengjiao didn't dare to be too affectionate, so she could only smile and nod at Wang Zijun, and then the family ate Lin Fengjiao's cooking in a strange atmosphere, and then went back to their rooms.

Wang Zijun tragically slept on the sofa again, his son Lin Yi missed his father and yelled to sleep with his father, and then Xiao Feiyu refused to leave.

So, Wang Zijun put the sofa together, and slept with two children on the left and right.

I woke up the next day with my clothes all wet...... Two little ones wet the bed!

"Wang, meet again!" Spielberg's voice interrupted Wang Zijun's memories.

"Hello, buddy!" Wang Zijun smiled and shook hands with him.

Spielberg said: "I heard you're planning a $25 million blockbuster? ”

"Yes, you're well informed." Wang Zijun said.

When Spielberg heard that it was true, his interest soared, and he asked, "Can you tell us a little bit?" ”

Wang Zijun said: "It's a story that happened 20 years later, a story of a bad guy and a good guy changing faces......"

Wang Zijun briefly explained the storyline, and Spielberg exclaimed: "It's really an interesting story, I believe it must be very exciting." Wang, you must invite me to the premiere. ”

"Sure, if you want to come." Wang Zijun said.

After the red carpet show, Wang Zijun entered the award hall with some excitement.

Oscar, I don't know if I can win Best Director or Best Picture this time. As for those best visual effects awards, hell, Wang Zijun feels that it is useless to take them.

The awards ceremony finally began, and the host, Bob Brown, finally began. Hope walked up to the stage and gave everyone a very gentlemanly salute, but the audience laughed back at him.

――――――

I've been watching the Olympics for the past two days......
